Despite running afoul of the censors (some newspapers wouldn't even print the title), Merrily We Go to Hell continued Arzner's box office success. Anybody's Woman focuses on an unemployed chorus girl who finds herself married to a dissolute, upper-class lawyer. The story of Merrily We Go to Hell follows an alcoholic reporter (Fredric March) married to a naïve socialite (Sylvia Sidney) and the threats to their domestic bliss. With Cary Grant. (1932; 78 mins.)

The remarkably frank Anybody's Woman focuses on an unemployed chorus girl who, after a night of debauchery, wakes up to find herself married to an equally dissolute upper-class lawyer. With Ruth Chatterton and Clive Brook. (1930; 80 mins.)
