What happens

Vanity Fair is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by Chester M. Franklin and starring Myrna Loy, Conway Tearle and Anthony Bushell. The film is modernized adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's 1848 novel of the same name with the original Regency-era story reset in twentieth century Britain. Three years later Thackeray's novel was adapted again as Becky Sharp, the first three-strip technicolor film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
