she should have gone to America


According to pre-Code films, which as everyone knows were factual in every detail, the upper crust in America were wallowing in every vice imaginable. :) They would have welcomed her with open arms as a charming and interesting woman with the romantic and sexy past of two men going to war over her. 1920s and 1930s films show the wealthy sleeping around, getting married and divorced on a whim, and indulging themselves freely in all addictions. They wore clothes with a lack of proper foundation garments, as well. :) They did not have middle class values because they were the upper class. (In American terms that meant piles of money or the illusion of piles of money.) Maybe our sadder but wiser heroine will find love and contentment on the other side of the pond.
