Newspaper ad featuring Stanwyck's legs and shoulders. The teaser asks, 'How would you lead your life—if you weren't afraid of being talked about?'

I enjoyed the pre-Code film "Ladies They Talk About" (Warner Bros., 1933), starring Barbara Stanwyck. This fast-paced drama features a bank robbery, a revivalist with a radio program, and an interesting portrayal of inmates in a women's ward at San Quentin State Prison. The film also offers sex appeal and comic relief.
