The plot offers nothing... rather, it gives the performers the opportunity to show off in the roles entrusted to them. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 01/02/2024 Smart script is a lot of fun. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 01/23/2021 Our Betters is an okay film. It is about an American heiress who realizes her husband has married her for her money and is keeping a mistress. Constance Bennett and Phoebe Foster give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. George Cukor did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and romance. See more 07/04/2019 Essentially plotless but Constance Bennett is great, and it’s worth the watch for Ernest, the clearly queer coded friend who arrives at the end. See more 06/19/2018 Fast-moving, sophisticated comedy directed by George Cukor. See more 10/22/2014 year s/b 1933 not 2013 See more Read all reviews
