The World Accuses (1934) Vivian Tobin, Dickie Moore,

Director: Charles Lamont. "The World Accuses" is a very watchable bad film. The acting is good and the story works provided you never once think! If you just turn off your brain, you could easily enjoy this one. Think too much and you'll see so many silly plot elements that it seems almost like a comedy! Genevieve Tobin plays Lola Weymouth--an ex-actress who has traded in the life to marry and raise a family. The problem is that although she tries to be a good mother and wife, her mother-in-law is Satan--and does her best to disrupt the marriage and second-guess Lola. Naturally, the marriage is compromised since the husband is a complete momma's boy--and refuses to stand up for his wife. When the husband is murdered by an old boyfriend of Lola, this conniving mother-in-law does her most to destroy Lola's reputation and make her out to be an unfit mother. Soon, the court takes Lola's baby--even though there really is no proof he's done anything. Simply put, the mother-in-law's fortune has been used to steal the child and the sensational court case destroys Lola's reputation.
