Quiz
When the final version of the movie went before Hollywood censors, they demanded that MGM cut the scene where Norma Shearer lays on the bed and suggestively asks Clark Gable to put his arms around her. The studio ignored the demand and released the film uncut.

Blooper
After the cross-examination finishes, Stephen Ashe begins his summation to the jury. However, he is the defense attorney, and the prosecutor takes the first summation. This "factual mistake" is, in fact, not an absolute, as it depends on the state where the trial is held. For example, in a criminal case (which this is) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the defense goes first and the Commonwealth last. (If it were a civil case in PA, the Plaintiff would go first.)

Free Soul and Gone with the Wind Similarity

Having just seen the Free Soul (1931), I was struck with how much Gable's character foretold his similarly famous role as Rhett Buttler in the 1939 film, Gone with the Wind. The plot situations in the two movies were also very similar, a different time and setting. I noticed the role of the fathers were almost identical. Barrymore's patriarchal role was just as intense as Scarlet's father. Norma Shearer's free soul character was similar but more understandable and empathetic than Scarlet's continuous self-centeredness. The coincidence of the similarity of Leslie Howard's role in both films as the jilted lover was striking. His acting got a lot better in Gone with the Wind. It was easy to see how Gable was destined to be somebody based on his performance in the 1931 film. I found viewing A Free Soul while comparing it to the more famous Civil War movie was an enjoyable experience.
