Kay Francis stars in "Give Me Your Heart," along with George Brent, Roland Young, Henry Stephenson, Patric Knowles, and Frieda Inescourt.
Francis is Belinda Warren, seeing a married man, Robert (Knowles) whose wife (Inescourt) is an invalid. Belinda learns she is pregnant, and.confides in an old friend, Tubbs (Young). Robert's father (Stephenson) is Lord Farrington, and he convinces Belinda that it's best that she give the baby up so that Robert and his wife can adopt the child.
This means, of course, that Belinda has to go away - on the train, she meets Jim (George Brent). Skip to later, and the two are married. Their marriage is rocky because Belinda can't forget the child she gave up, but she has never told Jim about her past. Then one day, Tubbs shows up, and he wants to help.
Several people mentioned that this film shows better when you're watching than when you describe it in print. That's because the characters all have great chemistry with one another, and the acting is wonderful. Young is a delight and provides much of the humorous dialogue. Stephenson displays warmth when speaking with Belinda and gives an excellent performance.
Francis, in Orry-Kelly outfits, is stunning, and she and Brent make a strong screen team, as they have in other films.
This is a very touching film, with true feelings shown by all the characters. One of Kay's best.
