Review

another pre-code film. this one is about a woman of the night who is helped by a soldier during an air raid. a romance begins, but she feels guilty because of her job and he doesn’t know and ends up not caring anyway. he’s from a well-to-do family and she never feels like she fits in so he has to chase her. kind of a precursor to pretty woman. the ending is anything but happy. it was remade in 1940.
