Viewing Notes
Film Foundation did a restoration for this film and provided it for free online for a limited time. Very nice of them to do that and fuck the assholes pissed off that they had to view it via their website. Like, they’re allowing you to view it for free. JFC
Anyways this is very emblematic of the times; sex worker wants a better life but is trapped by those in control. She finds a sailor who accepts her but she knows she can never be free. Standard stuff that erupts into a long bar fight to close it out making it worth the watch.
Her sailor (Phillips Holmes) looks like the Kirk Douglas prototype for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
