Review of Baby Face (1933) by Lanning : — 30 Dec 2007
If you see this, make sure you get the DVD that has both versions on it, the uncensored and the censored. Nowadays, I doubt there would be any question about toning down the original; it's tame by today's standards.
But there was a time when what we take for granted in movies today was definitely considered dubious content. Stanwyck is stunning as the abused child who sleeps her way to the top. Although she may appear to be heartless, it's a Hollywood ending 1930s style.
