USA, 1933, 71 min., DCP original version with Italian subtitles

directed by Alfred E. Green, starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent

A waitress and prostitute in a bar in the slums, Lily sets off for New York with her black friend Chico, bent on no longer allowing men to use her but using them to further her career instead. This symbolic Pre-Code film tells of sex and the mechanisms of power with a cynicism that is still disconcerting today.
