Laughing Sinners is a 1931 American pre-Code Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature film starring Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in a story about a cafe entertainer who experiences spiritual redemption.

The dialogue by Martin Flavin was based upon the play Torch Song by Kenyon Nicholson.

She tries to commit suicide, but Carl, a Salvation Army member, stops her and introduces her to the charitable ways of his group.

However, Carl drops by, and -- after punching Howard in the face --, disavows that any affection of his towards her is influencing him to bring her back to the Army; and he convinces her to return.

Andre Sennwald commented in The New York Times, "Miss Crawford...has tempered the intense and not a little self-conscious quality of her acting without hurting her vibrant and breath-catching spirit.
