Review

another seiler/cleo moore collaboration. this one is a bit better than women’s prison, but isn’t as progressive. it’s another story about a woman entering the workplace and scheming her way to the top. she’s not an awful girl, but she feels compelled to chase the dollar by whatever means necessary. in the end she falls for the guy and gives up her professional life in the process. i love these older films, but this one has that element of false choice for womanhood (family life or career) that can give older films a bad name. moore is pretty good and i’d like to see more of her work, unfortunately so few of these films are on dvd even now.
