Spendthrift
1936, English. Directed by Raoul Walsh.
He ran a fortune into a shoestring in his hunt for romance!
A profligate, polo-playing playboy (Henry Fonda) is married to a beautiful but superficial heiress (Mary Brian). They divorce, and the wife gets all the money. But the humbled (and impoverished) Fonda finds true love in the arms of Pat Paterson, who cares nothing for material things.
