Peacock Alley (1930 film)
Peacock Alley is a 1930 American musical romantic drama film directed by Marcel de Sano, and starring Mae Murray and George Barraud. The film is a remake of the 1921 silent film of the same name in which Murray also stars. Aside from Murray being cast in the lead, the remake was largely different from the 1921 silent film. While Murrays character in the 1921 film was named Cleo, she was renamed Claire Tree in this film. George Barraud replaced Monte Blue as the male lead, who is now named Clayton Stoddard.
The film takes place entirely in New York City, removing the Paris portion of the earlier films plot. Rather than falling in love with a man who happens along her way, Claire is actively looking for a husband. Two possibilities present themselves a Texan, who ultimately rejects Claire because he believes her to be immoral, and Stoddard, who agrees to marry her in the end.Produced by Tiffany Pictures, the film was lavishly produced with elaborate sets despite its low budget. Murrays silent films had been very successful and she and Bob Leonard had been founding members of Tiffany. However, by the time this remake was produced Murrays marriage to Leonard had come to an end as had the fortunes of Tiffany Pictures. ........
