Waterloo Bridge (1931)
Mae Clarke, Douglass Montgomery, Doris Lloyd
In World War I London, Myra is an American out of work chorus girl making ends meet by picking up men on Waterloo Bridge. During a Zeppelin air raid she meets Roy, a naive young American who enlisted in the Canadian army. They fall for each other, and he tricks Myra into visiting his family who live in a country estate outside London, where his step-father is a retired British Major. However Myra is reluctant to continue the relationship with Roy, because she has not told him about her past.

The title Waterloo Bridge makes most movie buffs think of Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor's 1940 version, but this grittier pre-Code original is closer to the Sherwood stage play. Mae Clarke as the hard-luck heroine, Myra Deauville, gives one of the finest performances I have ever seen by anyone. Kent Douglass/Douglass Montgomery is also very good as the naive soldier who loves her. If it weren't so sad this would absolutely be one of my favorite movies.
