Other Men's Women is a 1931 Pre-Code American drama film directed by William A. Wellman and written by Maude Fulton. The film stars Regis Toomey, Grant Withers, Mary Astor and features Joan Blondell. It was produced and distributed by Warner Bros.

It was first previewed and released in 1930 in a limited number of locations under the title The Steel Highway. By the time of the film's general release the title had been changed to Other Men's Women. Due to the public's apathy and aversion to anything musical in films in late 1930 and early 1931, the film's music is kept to an absolute minimum. The credits at the beginning and ending of the film are presented without music and there is virtually no background musical score throughout the film.

Plot

The film is about Bill (Grant Withers), a railroad engineer, who falls in love with Lily (Mary Astor), the wife of his co-worker Jack (Regis Toomey). When the two men fight over Lily, Jack is blinded. He dies in a violent storm saving Bill's life.

Reception

The New York Times described the film as "an unimportant little drama of the railroad yards", but Variety called it "a good program picture." Astor called it "a piece of cheese" in her autobiography, but praised Blondell and Cagney.

Home media

Other Men's Women was released on DVD by the Warner Archive in 2010.
