# Private Number (1936)

1936 · 80 min · Drama, Romance · United States


## Synopsis

Private Number is a 1936 American drama film, with the alternative title of Secret Interlude. It was directed by Roy Del Ruth, and stars Robert Taylor, Loretta Young and Basil Rathbone. The film was based on the 1915 play Common Clay by Cleves Kinkead, which was already a silent film in 1919 and a sound film in 1930, both with the play's name. Following stricter enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code from mid-1934, the more scandalous elements of the earlier films were left out of this version.
