What happens

Lilly Turner is a 1933 American pre-Code melodrama directed by William A. Wellman, starring Ruth Chatterton and produced by First National Pictures. It is based on the 1932 play of the same name by Phillip Dunning and George Abbott. Warner Brothers (which absorbed First National in November 1929) attempted to reissue the film in 1936, but the Production Code Office denied them a certificate. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
