And One Was Beautiful

Helen Lattimer (Jean Muir) is a society-climbing upper-class debutante. Kate Lattimer (Laraine Day) is her younger tomboy sister. Kate hits it off with playboy Ridley Crane, but he's interested in the more glamorous Helen. One night, Helen encounters a drunken Ridley driving his car. He passes out and she tries to drive him home. She struggles with the car and runs over a bicyclist. She abandons the unconscious Ridley who takes the fall for the crime.

This starts like a social formal. I'm barely interested in getting dressed up for the ball. The car incident woke me up. From that point on, it's a much more interesting story about morality. I love that Helen turns into this character. The writing is a little stiff. I wouldn't mind giving more comeuppance for Helen. I don't think that Ridley is developed enough. The ending leaves me a little wanting, but I am just so fascinated with Helen.
