An unscrupled working class woman tries to snatch her married boss.
The gold digger woman seems to be one of the main themes of the pre-code era. This film bears resemblances to The Greeks Had a Word for Them, which I saw previous. This one is more of a melodrama, though, and the leading character is more of a villain. She has no likeable features whatsoever. As manicheistic as that may appear, one just has to add two and two to see the reverse of the medal, namely, that social injustice breeds moral monsters. Not to mention the impossibility of complying with moral standards which are incompatible with man's (and woman's) biology.
