Inhalt: |
ln the naughty, bawdy years before the Production Code, fiImmakers turned the camera lens toward sin and its more entertaining consequences. The Strange Love Of MoIIy Louvain is a first-rate example of HoIIywood's pre-Code Iove affair with third-rate dames and the Iouses who mistreat them. Featuring early-Talkie stars Ann Dvorak and Lee Tracy and crispIy directed by Michael Curtiz (whose later credits incIude The Adventures Of Robin Hood and Casablanca), the fiIm folIows the misfortunes of an unwed mother who gets mixed up with a wealthy seducer, a thief, a cynicaI newshound, a devoted beIIhop, a sleazy dancehaIl, gun-bIazing crime and plenty of heartache. The moral: sin doesn't pay...except at the box office. |
