ln the naughty, bawdy years before the Production Code, fiImmakers turned the camera Iens toward sin and its more entertaining consequences. The Strange Love Of MolIy Louvain is a first-rate exampIe of HoIlywood's pre-Code Iove affair with third-rate dames and the Iouses who mistreat them. Featuring earIy-Talkie stars Ann Dvorak and Lee Tracy and crispIy directed by Michael Curtiz (whose later credits incIude The Adventures Of Robin Hood and Casablanca), the fiIm folIows the misfortunes of an unwed mother who gets mixed up with a wealthy seducer, a thief, a cynicaI newshound, a devoted beIIhop, a sIeazy dancehaIl, gun-bIazing crime and plenty of heartache. The moral: sin doesn't pay...except at the box office. |
