Love Has No Price (1935)

While out and about to grab a newspaper in the main part of city, William notices a girl who he later comes to know as Peggy. He insists on buying her a cup of coffee. Although Peggy is struggling to get by, she initially did not want "Billy" to buy her anything. Little did she know that he was a very wealthy heir to a company, so he did not have to worry about money for something as small as coffee. She also had no idea that his parents expected him to eventually fall in love and marry a family friend, Ruby. William's charm and persuasion leads to him buying her the coffee for several days in a row.

One of those days, Ruby happens to see them. She knows that her and William are not in fact in a relationship, but she had always imagined them to end up together. In order to make that happen, she takes the time to find out where Peggy lives. Ruby then tries to pay off Peggy, who needs the money, to stay away from William. Peggy does not take the bribe because she likes William for who he is. Ruby keeps trying to get rid of Peggy.
Ruby's persisting plans leads Peggy to fear for her well-being and she decides that she needs to leave town. Billy insists on coming with her, and they leave town together.
Although he only plays a small role as Billy's friend through most of the film, Carlton  jumps at the opportunity to comfort Ruby, the love of his life, in her sad state.

The story of the film allows for an underlying message to shine through: Money is not everything, especially when it comes to love. The timing of 1935 fits perfectly as it was before the market, as well as everyone's lives, started to pick back up again after the great depression. People could relate to something that does not involve people who depend on of money for everything, because that was not realistic at the time.

The big production does not take away from the true beauty of falling in love in a time of trouble. The romantic drama that is sprinkled with some comedy keeps within the bounds of the Hayes code by maintaining an innocent love between William and Peggy and clarifying that William and Ruby are not actually in a relationship.
Although the film's poster is in color, the movie will be black & white in order to be a timeless, classic film and this allows for other things to be available with the budget and be highlighted, like makeup & costumes. Jack Dawn and Adrian, both of whom were famous for there work in the 30s, will be in charge of those to things.

All of these things tie into the chosen studio, MGM, and the actors that were tied with it. MGM was known for big productions, due to how financially sound it was, and many big names came out of the studio. Famous couple Clark Gable and Jean Harlow will be reunited again as William and Peggy. Jeanette Macdonald and Maurice Chevalier will also add appeal to the film as Ruby and Carlton. Above all of them will be director Victor Flemming, who will go on to direct MGM's Gone with the Wind. All of these people will play a big part in portraying the whole story of the film.

If I were to take on making the movie by myself, I would have taken the time to develop the plot more. With a better and more unique plot, we could have taken all other aspects onto a deeper level so that they all make perfect sense and work well together in order to make a box-office hit that the critics could like as well.
