Jean Harlow playing the role of a social climbing gold digger was quite believable. She played the character with class but with definite sex appeal.
Honey, Harlow is her ultimate worst as a bed hopping, gold digging sister who uses her means and ways to get what she wants out of men. There's even a song, "Red Headed Woman" included. of course, this is the 1930s, but thank God for imaginations.
Watching this film in 2007 feels just as scandalous as it must have in '32. Keep an open eye for Charles Boyer's bit part.
another of my fav's~quite the tart, but get's what she wants. then get's it in the end~
I wasnt happy with the ending just like the rest of the original viewers. She should have been punished. This movie tiped the scales to bring in heavy censorism.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Red-Headed Woman" !
