I saw this old movie on late night TV, sometime in the 60s, I think it was black and white. In the beginning of the movie a married women is in a car with a man and gets into a car accident. The man turns out NOT to be her husband and while she was in the hospital, the husband divorces her and gets full custody of their child. At the end of the movie, the woman is so desperate to see her child that she gets hired to be a clown in disguise at her child’s birthday party.
