About A Woman Who Knows What She Wants
Woman concert singer seeks to connect with her adult daughter, by her former marriage to a staid industrialist who has kept the two apart since the daughter was a small child, and gets inadvertent help from the industrialist's fired employee who has fallen in love with the girl.
Directed by Victor Janson, A Woman Who Knows What She Wants leans on a strong ensemble — Lil Dagover, Anton Walbrook, Maria Beling — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1934.
