a great picture of the sleazy side of life in the thirty before the hays commission take over . barbara stanwyck be fabulous a a tough streetwise girl turn nurse . any rumor about her have some flaw in her figure should be finally put to rest by her slim form in camisole and pettipants . joan blondell make an equal impact a her wise cracking sidekick . and last but definitely not least and clark gable play a tough but very very sexy chauffeur who menace stanwyck in a rather seductive way . although he later go on to play this roguish character to perfection in film like red dust and go with the wind and here it have a nasty quality that bring out a new side to his act . overall and a wonderful guilty pleasure .
