It also, like\u00a0<em>Baby Face,\u00a0<\/em>stars Barbara Stanwyck. She plays gangster&#8217;s moll, Nan Taylor, who is caught during a bank robbery but who appeals to old male classmate David Slade (Preston Foster) for help. David is now a radio evangelist, intent on just punishment for criminals, but agrees to help Nan. Despite David&#8217;s intervention, Nan is sent too San Quentin prison where she meets an array of fellow female convicts. Dramatic urgency is supplied by a thwarted escape, a shooting, and romance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The film was later remade in 1942, starring Faye Emerson as the more aptly titled <em>Lady Gangster<\/em> (Robert Florey). Once more, as with <em>Three on a Match<\/em> and <em>Broadway Musketeers<\/em>, this affords us the opportunity of\u00a0 comparing\u00a0 pre and post-code treatments of a story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Do join us if you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All are very welcome to join us when we screen and discuss our next pre-code film.
