Joan Blondell, one of HoIlywood's most memorabIe bIondes, gets top bilIing in this protofeminist crime yarn as tough as taxi dancer's heart. BIondeIl's first starring roIe was also a change of pace for a contract player usuaIly cast as a chorus cutie of the maIe lead's Ioyal doxy. lnstead 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, AIIen Jenkins, Mae Busch, Sterling HolIoway - comes along for the rags-to-rackets ride through aIl the murder and double-crossing that make crime meIodrama great entertainment. This time with a woman's touch. |
