Directed by Lionel Barrymore • 1931 • United States
Starring Barbara Stanwyck, Ricardo Cortez, Monroe Owsley
Directed by acting legend Lionel Barrymore, this distinctly pre-Code drama stars a typically bracing Barbara Stanwyck as Barbara O’Neill, a taxi dancer who, despite being courted by wealthy businessman Bradley Carlton (Ricardo Cortez), chooses to marry Eddie Higgins (Monroe Owsley), an impoverished fellow boarding-house tenant . When she uses her influence with Carlton to help her husband get a job—only for the deadbeat Eddie to embezzle money from the company—Barbara finds herself at the center of a most complicated love triangle.
