This
is good, interesting and a recording of the song Baby Face plays as background
music in several scenes. I liked
the clothing and the hairstyles of the period. You can see how Lilly changes as she goes higher up the
boyfriend ladder. There is a twist
in the later scenes and at the ending.

Censorship Board rejected the original version of this film in April 1933. Some material and some scenes were
deleted, new footage was added and a new ending. The uncut version was lost until 2004
when it was discovered in the Library of Congress vault. The restored version premiered at the London Film Festival
in November 2004. In 2005 this
version was selected for preservation in the US Library of Congress National
Film Registry. It was also named
by Time as one of the best 100 movies of the last 80 years.
