Barbara Stanwyck starts out waiting tables in her father's speakeasy, moves to the city after the joint's still explodes, and sleeps her way to the top of a giant bank. Fast-paced, pre-code melodrama, with Stanwyck in one of her signature roles. Young John Wayne plays one of her early conquests at the bank, but Stanwyck drops him cold like all the rest, as soon as he's no longer useful. What a dame.
