Viewing Notes

An interesting pre code film chronicling the fortunes of three girls from school through adulthood. Features a young Bette Davis in a supporting role, and an equally young Humphrey Bogart, also in a supporting role. Joan Blondell and Ann Dvorak are both stunningly beautiful, but Dvorak steals the show with her amazing fall from grace. Formulaic, but still a good watch.
