Recaptured Love

Recaptured Love is a 1930 early talkie pre-Code musical drama film based on the play Misdeal by Basil Woon about a man who experiences a mid life crisis that results in his divorce.

A 50-year-old married man goes with his wife and son to a nightclub in a fancy hotel in Detroit.

He meets a gold-digger there, singing the theme song of the picture, and eventually ends up going out with her on a subsequent occasion and falls in love with her.

His wife finally finds out and this leads to her leaving him and getting a divorce in Paris.
