Merrily We Go to Hell

ComedyDramaRomance83 min

A fast-rising writer marries an heiress and calls their impulsive union an invitation to “go to hell together.” What begins as a bright, reckless romance sours as his drinking takes over and an old affair pulls him back into the life he promised to leave behind. As the marriage turns into a public mess of betrayals and resentments, his wife refuses to stay quietly wounded. After learning about his adultery, she starts seeing another man herself, turning their household into a bitter contest over freedom, fidelity, and who gets to set the rules. Sylvia Sidney and Fredric March lead a marriage story that keeps pushing past propriety.
