Three on a Match is an unusual set of contradictions. Disliked by most of its principles, it was loved by the censors. Denounced by critics and ignored at the box office, it’s become a cornerstone for serious cinema students when exploring the movies of the early 1930s.
After a superstitious faux pas, Vivian strays from her steadfast husband to a life of debauchery and substance abuse. Meanwhile, Mary turns her life around and not only wins the heart of Vivian's soon-to-be ex-husband, but becomes a loving stepmother to Vivian's son Robert Jr.
