Интересные факты

Life Begins is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film starring Loretta Young, Eric Linden, Aline MacMahon, and Glenda Farrell. The film was adapted from the 1932 play of the same name by Mary M. Axelson. It was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 10, 1932. The film was praised for its honest portrayal of a maternity ward.

Production

The film's pre-release titles were "Give Me a Child and Woman's Day". The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America expressed concern at the directness of the movie's subject, but in 1936, when the Hays Code was being enforced, still considered it acceptable for Warner Bros. to re-release the film. However, a large number of local, state, and international censor boards heavily edited the film or banned it completely.

Elliott Nugent and James Flood had just directed The Mouthpiece together. Nugent said Life Begins was an even bigger hit and both men were offered a contract at Warners but they split up and agreed to work freelance.
