Insanely good pre-Code melodrama with a shocker of an ending. I was a little worried when the movie began that Ann Dvorak was playing the prudish, respectable friend to showgirl Joan Blondell and meek office girl Bette Davis, but she transformed from society matron to drug-addicted wanton harlot within about three minutes, making my worries for naught.
