With too much lipstick, too much peroxide, too much everything but hope, Daisy Stevens (Jean Harlow) casts her Iot with mobsters. In a city that's a cesspooI of vice, she's learned that racketeers might manhandIe a dame, but they aIso pay the biIIs. So Daisy plays rough when an obsessively upright cop (WaIter Huston) turns bIue-coated avenger and goes after her gangland meaI tickets.
This hard-boiled, pre-Code thriller boasts electric pacing, biting diaIogue and a memorabIe cast of acting veterans. But the one giving the master class in screen presence is 20-year-oId Harlow, the white-hot flame that ignites The Beast Of The City's scorching taIe of crime and corruption on both sides of the law. |
