Review of Baby Face (1933) by Drew S — 03 Dec 2014
A gem originated during the pre-code hollywood that focuses on feminism. It is a very fine example of immaculate acting. Barbara Stanwyck is phenomenal as Lily Powers aka Baby Face who lives an impoverished life working at a family saloon and then moves to New York trying to incorporate Frederick Nietzsche's WILL TO POWER.
Its all femme fatale as Stanwyck climbs the corporate ladder all the way to the top utilising her seductive power over men. The movie is ruthless, straight forward and outstanding at its presentation of raw willpower.
At 75 minutes, it is fast paced and absolutely perfect.
