Details.
Wiki.
Merrily We Go to Hell is a 1932 pre-Code film directed by Dorothy Arzner, and starring Fredric March and Sylvia Sidney. The supporting cast features a prominent early appearance by Cary Grant, billed ninth in the cast but with a larger part than this would suggest. The picture's title is an example of the sensationalistic titles that were common in the pre-Code era. Many newspapers refused to publicize the film because of its racy title. The title is a line March's character says while making a toast.March plays a man undone by alcoholism and adultery. Sidney plays his wife who, when she discovers his adultery, begins an affair with another man. The film received a mixed review from The New York Times upon its release.
