First Movie Suicide?
I don't recall a movie from that time period, or even until the 1970's that even suggested someone commit suicide! This may have been the first time. Probably the Code of Ethics and Morals Board that governed what movie studios could get away with had not even thought of that but there it was at the end! Blam!
FYI, no murderer could get away with murder in those days nor could a man and woman be in the same bed!
