I just saw this movie on cable. The title is enough to make you think it is a horrible movie..BUT it actually is pretty good. I never saw Clara Bow in a talkie before and frankly I don't see how her talking voice was so bad. This was suppose to be one of the reasons she did not succeed in the talkies. I thought she was wonderful. She looked like she was having a ball. The movie obviously is Pre-code. SPOILERS AHEAD... It has a little bit of everything in it. Biblical prophacy, Inter-racial infidelity, prostitution, out of wedlock baby, father being fooled into thinking his so called daughter is his. A couple shacking up together, STD being passed on to her baby, baby dying in fire, divorce, escorts, suicide. A very weird scene that takes place in a resturant in Greenwich Village with obvious drag queens performing. Even though the crazy implication is that she is part indian so that is why she is so wild. I thought she was rather refreshing and was not some demure debutant. And of course if you are a independent free women in movies you must suffer for that. I liked the movie and I really liked Clara Bow. Too bad she was not in more talkies.
