The Marriage Playground

The Marriage Playground

70 mins | Drama, Comedy, Romance | Dec. 12, 1929

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.
