Sadie McKee
Leaving November 30
•
1h 32m
Directed by Clarence Brown • 1934 • United States
Starring Joan Crawford, Gene Raymond, Franchot Tone
One of the quintessential working-girl vehicles Joan Crawford starred in throughout the 1930s, SADIE MCKEE follows the fortunes of the eponymous heroine, who trades in her maid’s uniform for black sable as she moves on up in the world over the course of three relationships: with the singer (Gene Raymond) she loves, the tycoon (Edward Arnold) she marries, and the lawyer (Franchot Tone, soon to be the offscreen Mr. Joan Crawford) she grew up with. Throughout it all, Crawford endures personal trials and heartbreak with the chic sophistication that made her a Depression-era icon.
