D S. @dsommer Sep 16 Good movie lots of twists and turns See more Natasha F 04/13/2024 This little gem is a must see. A very young Barbara Stanwyck is a ruthless femme fatale as she works her way up the ladder in a large NYC bank. Look for an also very young John Wayne as one of her conquests. See more Jeff S @jeffstone 03/12/2024 Provocative in a number of ways. It's a film fraught with hypotheticals that type keep turning over in the mind long after the credits have rolled. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 02/26/2024 I know it's "pre code," but this film must have been shocking even for that era. Barbara Stanwyck's character literally sleeps her way into money and high society. And the movie isn't shy about depicting her exploits either. But the movie is more than just sex. The acting, story and dialogue are all terrific. See more huck d 08/30/2023 Oh my God Barbara Stanwyck at 26 just couldn't possibly have been more beautiful, more powerful, and more alluring as she gives a tour-de-force masterclass in acting, in the pre-code film, so risqué, it established the film code that would stifle films for decades. Pulled from theaters, it had to be censored, both dialog and the ending, to get it released. The uncensored version, lost for 70 years, was uncovered at the Library of Congress in 2004. TCM airs the uncensored version, don't miss it. 4 stars, and add a star if you live Stanwyck, and who doesn't? See more A R 08/13/2023 Barbara Stanwyck at her vampy best. I first saw her in comedy roles and it's such a blast to see in her range in more serious, sultry roles like this - she owns every scene and she's a joy to watch. The overall message about feminine empowerment is ultimately shallow, but tragically it remains relevant to this day - definitely worthy of discussion, though not necessarily praise.
