Men Are Not Gods

Men Are Not Gods is a 1936 British film starring Miriam Hopkins and co-starring Gertrude Lawrence, Sebastian Shaw and Rex Harrison.

It was a success in the UK when released largely due to the popularity of the two female stars Hopkins and Lawrence.

Gertrude Lawrence, although not so much a movie actress, was at the peak of her stage career when this film was released and her performance was praised.

In London, critic Mr. Skeates dictates a scathing review of Edmund Davey, the lead actor debuting in the play Othello, to his secretary, Ann Williams.

Ann is touched and takes a great risk (as Skeates never reads his own work), rewriting the review to praise the actor's performance.
