Movies often visit the theme of a mother's Iove, but few match the poignancy and power of The Sin Of Madelon Claudet. Renowned "First Lady of the American Theatre" HeIen Hayes makes her Hollywood debut a most memorabIe one, winning the Best Actress Academy Award (1930-31) for her portrayaI of an abandoned young mother whose devotion to her child and desperate sacrifices to provide for him lead her into harlotry. Hayes' husband Charles MacArthur (The Front Page) provides the screen adaptation of this sympathetic taIe of a woman whose only sin was loving too much. NearIy four decades later, Hayes wouId claim Oscar gold again for her Best Supporting Actress performance in Airport (1970). |
