Bette Davis basically lies for her pimp but things change once her sister dies in the racket. Then she teams up with district attorney Humphrey Bogart to bring the man down. Bette Davis did an ok job but I've seen better from her. This was all right but Bette's career was just starting.

The Avenging Conscience
This was a pretty cool D.W. Griffith movie. It's obviously influenced by Edgar Allan Poe and it doesn't hide this but embraces it. It starts out as a generic love story. But once the man murders someone it becomes a creepy movie. The character descends into madness. SPOILERS: I didn't care much for the ending. It does the it was all a dream bit. I didn't think it was necessary seeing as how the character's likability was completely gone once he committed murder. I felt this movie showed a more versatile side to director D. W. Griffith.
