Jerry Corbett (Fredric March), a talented but struggling playwright with a penchant for alcohol, meets and falls in love with Joan Prentice (Sylvia Sidney), a wealthy socialite. Despite warnings from her father and Jerry’s own misgivings about his ability to stay sober, the couple marries. Their happiness is short-lived as Jerry’s drinking spirals out of control, threatening both his career and their marriage.
As Jerry achieves success with a new play, he rekindles a relationship with his former flame, actress Claire Hempstead (Adrianne Allen). Heartbroken but determined, Joan suggests they have an “open marriage,” leading to a series of encounters that challenge societal norms and push the limits of their commitment to each other. The film builds to a powerful climax that forces Jerry to confront his demons and Joan to decide if their love is worth fighting for.
As one of the only female directors working in Hollywood during this era, Dorothy Arzner brings a unique perspective to Merrily We Go to Hell. Her unflinching portrayal of complex relationships and social issues was ahead of its time, cementing her status as a pioneering filmmaker. Arzner’s direction allows for nuanced performances from the leads, particularly Sylvia Sidney, whose portrayal of Joan’s emotional journey is both heartbreaking and empowering.
