Description:
A young mother and wife is abandoned by her husband, the French Attorney General, who refuses to let her see their three-year-old son, despite her pleas for forgiveness. For years, she flees to other countries and seeks solace in absinthe. Eventually, her son, now a lawyer, unknowingly defends her in court. Ruth Chatterton delivers a remarkable performance as Madame X in this early sound film.
