I saw The Great Divide today on OK. Ru and did not care for it. I do not like musicals and do not like Dorothy Mackaill ( Ruth Jordan). Why? Put it on? Myrna Loy. I love Myrna Loy (Manuela). Myrna plays another one of her Pre-Code exotic types. In this case, a half Mexican half American who loves Steven Ghent (Ian Keith), The problem is he does not love her. As you can figure out he loves spoiled wealthy flapper girl Ruth who is already engaged to Edgar Blossom ( Creighton Hale). So what does he do? He kidnaps Ruth to expose her to the great outdoors. His problem is a reward is put out for the return of Ruth and the capture of him dead or alive $10,000 lot of money in 1929), so he is going to get hung. But Spoilers Ahead who comes out but Ruth who said she went well him voluntarily and breaks off the engagement with Edgar because she loves Steven. If I was Steven I am choosing Myrna every single time over Dorothy. Of course, I am a Loy fan who has seen 62 of her films, so I am not unbiased. I give the movie.3/10 stars. 2 for Myrna and 1 for seeing a rare film from her Warner Bros period.
