''The Animal Kingdom'' (1932) is a [[UsefulNotes/ThePreCodeEra pre-code]] drama starring Creator/LeslieHoward, Ann Harding, and Creator/MyrnaLoy.

Tom Collier (Howard), a publisher, doesn’t want to end his friendship with his friend/lover, Daisy (Harding), but she insists that they must since he’s going to marry Cecilia Henry (Loy). But Tom soon finds the marriage unsatisfactory: Cecilia makes him sacrifice his artistic vision [[OnlyInItForTheMoney for money]] and forget not only Daisy, but his other artistic friends. He soon realizes that he must choose between these two women if he wants to come out with his soul unscathed.

!!This film demonstrates the following tropes:
*BrilliantButLazy: Tom’s father’s estimation of Tom.
*ChosenConceptionPartner: Daisy wants Tom to be her child’s father, but they don’t go through without because of his impending marriage.

*DistinguishedGentlemansPipe: Tom is almost never seen without it.
*FriendsWithBenefits: Tom and Daisy’s relationship which is a rarity for films even from ThePreCodeEra.
*GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Tom recalls a wonderful little brothel he used to go to:
-->'''Tom''': I know, the Florentine! A private room at the Florentine.
-->'''Cecilia''': What's that?
-->'''Tom''': Its a sort of hotel. Run by a woman called Flora Conover.

-->'''Cecilia''': I don't care to hear about it, thank you.
**Daisy:
-->A foolish virgin me. [Pause]. Oh, foolish anyway.
*LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Tom is determined not to be like his father, and he isn’t for the most part.
*ManipulativeBitch: It’s apparent that Cecilia uses sex to make Tom do what she wants, but he finally realizes this and [[spoiler: leaves her for Daisy]].
*MarriageOfConvenience: Daisy proposes one to Tom, so she can lawfully have a kid.
-->'''Daisy''': On the boat coming over, the sweetest small boy, about two, and I got crazy about him and I want one. I want one *badly*. So would you please be good enough to marry me?
-->'''Tom''': [Startled and stands straight up]
-->'''Daisy''': Oh, you always said you wanted to and I wouldn't let you. Well, it isn't terribly serious, not a life sentence, you know, just for a little while if you like. Will be such a dirty trick on him if you didn't.
*OnlyInItForTheMoney: Cecilia’s manipulations has changed Tom into a money-obsessed man when he was DoingItForTheArt before.
*ThePreCodeEra: This is the type of film that could’ve only been made during the loose time of the early thirties.
*ReadyForLoveMaking: Cecilia prepares a romantic evening in her parlour, inviting Tom to her bedroom, and undresses, waiting for his arrival.
*SellOut: What Tom has become. He’s selling his publishing company to a large corporate one that will give him a lot of money, but not much artistic

*UnrequitedLove: Owen (Neil Hamilton) is still in love with Cecilia even after she’s married to Tom.
*YourCheatingHeart: It’s obvious that Cecilia still has a thing for Owen, and she almost kisses him before Daisy awkwardly finds them in this compromising situation.
