Steve D The dialog is often laughable but the acting is solid. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review william d This sister is more brat than bad. That's the script's fault, not Sidney Fox's. She does a credible job. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william k Contrived and wooden melodrama with a remarkable cast, and no, Bette Davis doesn't play the title role. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Bette's first picture is a by the numbers affair. She seems a bit stiff at times as if she's still getting use to the camera, an unease that would vanish quickly. It's not hard to see why she was referred to as the little brown wren when she debuted. Her hairstyle and wardrobe are dowdy, even more so when you consider she's playing the younger "good" sister. A word or two about the title, Sidney Fox, the bad sister of the title, is more foolish and naive then really bad in the fashion that Bette would one day make the word mean. Humphrey Bogart also just starting out is slender and attractive and even though his character has a bit more depth it's still a stock one. A good supporting cast, including Charles Winninger and ZaSu Pitts, helps but this is worth seeing only as a document of Davis's first film and early Bogie.
