Hello, Sister!, the 1933 Alan Crosland, Erich von Stroheim, Raoul Walsh & Alfred L. Werker New York City Broadway romantic melodrama starring James Dunn, Zasu Pitts, Minna Gombell, Boots Mallory, and Terrance Ray. Note that this is a fascinating movie! It was based on a play about two young women moving to New York City, and one falls in love, but breaks up with her boyfriend, and then discovers she is pregnant, and she gets an abortion, and at the end of the play, she reunites with her boyfriend. This was certainly daring material for its time. Legendary director, Erich von Stroheim, who had not directed a movie for three years, was assigned to direct this, and he made many, many changes, including the title, but more importantly making the movie far darker, including having the heroine raped! Fox looked at the film and apparently hated it, and they called in a first one and then a second and then a third director to re-shoot scenes, until finally, very little of von Stroheim's original movie remained, and his name was taken off the credits! He would never again be hired to direct a movie, although he of course went on to an illustrious acting career. It would be wonderful to see von Stroheim's original version exactly as he directed it (if it does not exist, someone should try to recreate it).
