Not really a battle of the sexes; more of a dumb husband deciding to leave his wife for a gold digger. Not great.

Belle Bennett started as a child performer in the circus, but by this time she had been typecast as “the mother.” She died of cancer at 41, four years after this movie was released.

Ooooh! There was a movie this year with “Battle” in the title and a poster that’s not too hard to mimic!
