Review of Red-Headed Woman (1932) by Johan A — 08 Jan 2009
Ugh, it's really tough to like a movie when hardly anyone in it is sympathetic. It's hard for me to believe someone like Jean Harlow could seduce all those guys. She didn't appeal to me at all.
Now Leila Hyams' character 'Rene was very appealing. She as a seductress would've been much more believeable. As it was, she was so submissive. Her reaction to discovering Bill Jr.' s philandering in the beginning is another thing that drove me nuts.
What reaction, you ask? Exactly. On the flip side, though, the great writer Anita Loos uses "Red" to expose so much of the hypocrisy that tainted the aristocracy then as it does now. In that way it's not dated at all.
It's still very relevant.
