About This Movie

Their Mad Moment is a 1931 comedy featuring a blend of romance and melodrama. Directed by Fox Film Corporation, it showcases the story of Emily Stanley, caught between her betrothed and her true love in the Basque country.

The film centers on Emily Stanley, portrayed by Dorothy Mackaill, who faces a dilemma between her foppish fiancé, Sir Harry Congers, and her love for Basque peasant Esteban Cristera. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Basque mountains, the story unfolds as Emily seeks a final adventure before her wedding.

Following a car accident, Emily recuperates and learns about the struggles of Basque women through the eyes of Esteban's grandmother and former girlfriend, Stancia. This experience shapes her decision to return to Sir Harry in Biarritz, highlighting the contrast between her two worlds. With a cast that includes Warner Baxter and Zasu Pitts, this film offers a glimpse into early 20th-century romantic comedy.

Their Mad Moment is one of those lesser-known titles that collectors often find elusive. It’s been released in various formats over the years, but original prints are particularly hard to come by, leading to a niche but enthusiastic collector interest. The film embodies the charm of early sound cinema and the transitional storytelling techniques of its time, making it a curious addition to any collection focused on this era.
