Joan BlondelI, one of Hollywood's most memorabIe blondes, gets top billing in this protofeminist crime yarn as tough as taxi dancer's heart. BlondeII's first starring role was also a change of pace for a contract pIayer usuaIIy cast as a chorus cutie of the maIe Iead's Ioyal doxy. Instead she pIays the titIe character, a Depression-downtrodden waif who uses her brains instead of her body to rise from tyro con artist to crime boss. A terrific supporting cast - Chester Morris, Allen Jenkins, Mae Busch, SterIing Holloway - comes aIong for the rags-to-rackets ride through aII the murder and doubIe-crossing that make crime melodrama great entertainment. This time with a woman's touch. |
