...three leading ladies in "Ladies in Love," Constance Bennett, Loretta Young, and Janet Gaynor all have their romantic experiences in the setting of Twentieth Century Budapest. Faced with an overwhelming galaxy of some of Hollywood's best talent, the audience is whisked with bewildering rapidity from one love story to the next. The difficulty in keeping the proper men connected with their respective females increases with each succeeding scene and the introduction of Simone Simon to further complicate the plot is the last straw...
Constance Bennett, a woman of experience, works as a model in a dress shop by day, and by night she exercises all the powers she possesses in securing Paul Lucas for a rich husband. Loretta Young, supposedly a simple country girl, has arrived in the great metropolis to become independent of men and to set herself up as the proud possessor of a hat shop. Janet Gaynor wants a man she can take care of plus a home and some children. Irrevocably lost among the three of them with their love affairs of which only one is successful, the audience...

Don Ameche and Kent Taylor are certainly good enough, and that extremely physical Katherine de Mille loses to Loretta with as dour a sulleness as she did in "The Crusades". Its charms being thus threefold, the picture is a good investment...
...Ramona (Loretta Young) did not know about her Indian blood. Senora Moreno (Pauline Frederick) in whose house she lived, had brought her up like a white girl and she was loved by the Senora's son Phillipe (Kent Taylor). However, she was glad when she found out that her father's wife had been a squaw because it left her free to marry Alesandro (Don Ameche, late of NBC's Grand Hotel hour). They had a happy life until white usurpers put them oft the land they farmed. Trekking in the rain to new lands, their baby...
