The Divorcee is a 1930 American pre-Code drama film written by Nick Grindé, John Meehan, and Zelda Sears, based on the 1929 novel Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott.

Weeks later, on her third attempt to locate Ted in Paris, Jerry finally finds him at a New Year's Eve party.

Jerry tells Ted her true feelings, and the two kiss at midnight to begin the new year, and presumably their new lives, together.

[2] Norma Shearer, Thalberg's wife, originally was not in the running for the lead role in The Divorcee because it was believed that she did not have enough sex appeal.

Only after Shearer arranged a special photo session with independent portrait photographer George Hurrell, and Thalberg saw the result, did he relent and give her the role.

[3] Warner Home Video released The Divorcee (along with A Free Soul, also starring Norma Shearer) as part of a DVD box set of five pre-Code films called the Forbidden Hollywood Collection, Vol.
