Week-End Marriage (AKA Working Wives) a fine 1932 pre-code film combines comedy and romantic melodrama. Loretta Young has to choose between two men. Takes career vs marriage problems for women seriously. A film that enrages some modern viewers.

In Road To Paradise (1930) Loretta Young is delightful playing dual roles as a wealthy socialite and an orphan with a paranormal ability. Cheerfully pre-code with an indifference to the law. It's OK for pretty girls to break the law. Good fun.
