Baby Face (1933)
9/10
Babyface stuns with it's controversial premise.
9 December 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Babyface is an excellent film. Telling the story of a woman who uses her body to move up the ranks of a big bank. This probably was controversial at the time. It has an unflinching willingness to depict sexual situations that may have been shocking at the time. Barbara Stanwick is just ravishing throughout. They use a lot of milky light that almost gives a dream like quality to the scenes. Another interesting trick they use is the visual of the outside of the building: we see higher and higher up the outside of the building as the main character climbs the corporate ladder, so to speak. The film also has some very good twists to it that keep you on your toes. Give this film a shot, it is totally worth it.
