Gladys George, a superlative actress often wasted in secondary roles,
carries her starring assignment in Valiant is the Word for Carrie with
singular brilliance. George plays the town trollop, who for the love of two
orphaned children sets up a successful dry-cleaning business. Her past
comes back to haunt her, but she perseveres, giving up all thoughts of
personal happiness to provide a decent upbringing for her adopted
family. A real four-hanky film, Valiant is the Word for Carrie might never
have been made if it hadn't been for Mae West. Paramount had signed
Gladys George to star in a filmization of her stage hit Personal
Appearance, but this property was deflected to Ms. West and retitled Go
West, Young Man. As compensation, Gladys George was offered
Carrie--and she certainly made the most of this rebound opportunity.
