Plot

MGM regularly churned out films in the 1930s that were all "star power" and very little plot. No More Ladies is a good example of this. Joan Crawford marries bon vivant Robert Montgomery, hoping to mend his wastrel ways. Montgomery refuses to assumes the proper responsibilities of a husband, so Crawford tries to make him jealous by taking up with Franchot Tone. Everyone involved has limitless money, beautiful clothes and all the time in the world to spend on the trivialities of the plotline. Depression era audiences loved to see good-looking people in sumptuous sets, so No More Ladies was a success. The fact that, when asked, these audiences couldn't remember a single thing about the story was beside the point. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Plot summary

Marcia, (Crawford), a young socialite is a firm believer that a couple should be faithful to one another, unlike her peers who do not feel so strongly. Marcia meets Jim, (Tone), who agrees with her on the subject of a couple's monogamy and pursues her. Marcia, however, decides to pursue Sherry, (Montgomery), whom Marcia sees as a challenge and proceeds to cure him of his philandering nature. Marcia and Sherry are married, yet Sherry continues as before. Marcia decides to teach her husband a lesson, by having a party, where she invites Sherry's former flames along with their mates. Marcia announces that she intends to be unfaithful to her husband, by having a fling with Jim, who still cares for Marcia. In the end, Marcia stays true to her beliefs and cannot go through as she planned. Sherry then sees how much his wife loves him and is convinced to reform his former ways.
