Tim S Jul 24 Typical Joan Crawford vehicle. Mildly entertaining. Easily forgettable. See more M L Jul 7 Galloping, heartbreaking, preposterous, snappy, whiplash-inducing! This epic camp masterpiece lays all its flaws out to bear and then dares you to walk away.—- “Whatever it’s like out there, it’s gotta be better than this…” —- “ Don’t talk to me about self-respect! That’s something you tell yourself you’ve got when you got nothing else.” —- “ The only thing that counts is that stuff you take to the bank. That filthy buck that everyone sneers at but slugs to get!” —- Awesomeness. See more nick s 11/13/2024 Good drama with competent directing and acting. Some of the dialogue really is top shelf. The story is mostly the character arc of the main protagonist, so there's not much mystery or intrigue. That doesn't quite hook you as well. But it was a good movie all the same. See more 09/02/2024 There all sorts of sub-genre film noirs...,,,.. San Francisco, New York, LA (usually Santa Monica) - Nevada - railroad, insurance scam, newspaper, femme fatale, catholic, amnesia, women's prison.... BUT, so far only one film noir I've seen that is pure Palm Springs and this is it. AND, probably in the top 25 greatest film noirs ever made. Much like Double Indemnity (1944) it's still copywrite protected, and very much worth the $4 on Fandango or Amazon to see. Loosely based on the life of Virginia Hill, gangster Bugsy Siegel's moll in the mid to late 1940s. Joan Crawford at her very best. 103 minutes, B&W. Released by Warner Brothers, a rather expensive movie to make as film noirs go: Cost over a million dollars to make back in 1950. See more Stefano L 07/20/2024 A galloping, far-fatched, and riveting tale of tawdriness and masterpiece storytelling! See more X O 10/02/2023 Interesting film. I was a bit worried in the beginning with how shitty the men treat women, but it's nice she holds her own. She's a player, but she has to. It's crazy that the guys take their 'move' for granted and enough for a kiss in 3 minutes. WTF is it about men, at any time or generation, to treat a woman this way? Anyway, the film develops really well. Impressive. Worth watching for how a gangster film looks like without the grime, and from a woman's point of view, but in the end, gangsters never treat women well. Money corrupts everyone.
