Directed by Jack Conway

IMDB

A trashy red head (Jean Harlow) decides to "trade up" in relationships by wooing her boss. After several attempts, she finally seduces him, breaks up his marriage and is wedded to him. She doesn't stop there, as she sleeps around. When she and her husband move across the street from his ex-wife, she embarrasses herself after a dinner party and leaves town for New York. In New York she continues to sleep around and get engaged.
A very trashy movie for the 1930s. Jean Harlow is a strong lead as the slutty gold digger who does whatever she wants and gets ever she wants. There's no Hollywood ending with a heavy handed message.
There is a lot of sex in this movie. It'd be PG-13 if it were released today. If for no other reason, this should be intriguing enough to make a film history fan want to see this.


7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
