      Steve D Stanwyck gives her normal great performance and the story is solid. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Barbara Stanwyck is a dancehall girl who dances for money. She finds what she thinks is a good man, but he ends up being a bit of a weasel and no good. That's pretty much the film in a nutshell. It's really only of interest because of Stanwyck. Probably the weakest film I've seen her in, but I won't blame her since this was one pretty early in her career. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member awesome pre-code delight directed by lionel barrymore. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member another interesting pre-code drama that stanwyck elevates by her gripping performance also notable directed by actor lionel barrymore Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Add a review (optional)...
