Deep Dive

Cultural

Shot during the brief 1930-1934 window before the Hays Code strangled Hollywood's honesty about sex, money, and women's ambition.

Trivia

Richard Bennett, who plays the wealthy puppet master David Meyer, was Constance Bennett's actual father—adding extra oedipal voltage to their scenes.
