The Marriage Playground

The Marriage Playground (1929)

Palm Beach love. The wedding march. The divorce judge's gavel. Who pays the piper?

A delightful pre-code cocktail recipe. Take three couples (add gin and tonic), their several divorces and the seven children/stepchildren of their intermarriages and blend thoroughly, and you have a mixture a too-young-to-believe Frederic March will try to straighten out.
