* GoldDigger: While Doree's motives in hanging out with super-rich John are ambiguous, Marion is clearly in it for the money. After finding out that Doree is sweet on Bob, she arranges for Doree to get into Bob's car at the club, supposedly by mistake, while she gets into John's and snuggles up to him as soon as he gets in.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Bob's outrage over finding out that Doree and John had a fling, after he and Doree broke up, is pretty over-the-top considering that Bob was cheating on his wife to begin with.

''My Past'' is a 1931 film directed by Roy Del Ruth.
Doree Macy (Bebe Daniels) is a stage actress who seems to have a side business of hobnobbing with rich admirers. One of those admirers is John Thornley (Lewis Stone), owner of a steel factory. John hasn't gotten past cocktails and flirtatious talk with Doree, but she's happy to accept his invitation for a cruise on his yacht. John badgers his workaholic business partner Robert Byrne (Ben Lyon) into finally taking a break from the office and joining them on the cruise. Naturally, Bob and Doree fall in love and begin a passionate affair.
The only problem is, Bob's married. His wife Consuelo is in Europe and he gives the impression that a divorce is pending, but that turns out not to be true, as Doree learns when she sees a telegram from Consuelo reporting that she's on her way home. A broken-hearted Doree ends things with Ben and becomes more receptive to John's advances. However, after Consuelo returns home, Bob learns that she's been cheating on him too and she actually does want a divorce.
A pre-stardom Creator/JoanBlondell appears as Doree's gold-digging sidekick Marion.
