In the mood for a dose of unfiltered, high-octane Bette Davis? Check out Marked Woman, a bristling 1937 vehicle from her early Warners period. This one is loosely based on the Lucky Luciano saga, with maybe a few borrowings from Edna Ferber's Stage Door. Davis plays the feistiest of a group of clip-joint girls, who board together when they're not cutting a rug with clients (read: suckers) at a nightclub. Crusading district attorney Humphrey Bogart wants Davis to testify against mobster Eduardo Ciannelli, but the price would be high. Meanwhile, Bette's innocent little sister (Jane Bryan) comes to visit from college and gets more than she bargained for. The melodrama of the story is a blunt object, but you won't be able to keep your eyes off Davis, who spits and sparks like a young dragon. She's so electrically "on" that other actors sometimes look a little afraid of her. The film is true to the Warners spirit of surveying a lower tier of society, and the actresses who play the clip-joint girls have an earthy energy (Isabel Jewell is a standout). One of them is Mayo Methot, the tough-looking character actress who married Bogart shortly after the film's release. --Robert Horton

Almost immediately after New York attorney general successfully prosecuted Lucky Luciano for running a massive prostitution ring in 1936, Warner Bros. came out with this excellent version of the story starring Bette Davis. This is one of the rare Thirites crime dramas where the emphasis is mostly on women and their interrelations: Davis plays Mary Dwight, an especially vivacious hostess at Eduardo Cianelli's Manhattan clip joint the Club Intime, and the film is primarily about her relationship with ...

try as i may, this is one bette davis film that contains a davis performance i don't like. until the final two reels or so, she never relaxes in to the story or to lloyd bacon's fast-paced direction.
it may have been where she was in her career. she had just finished fighting a losing battle with warners. she hated her husband. and she probably wasn't too fond of the rest of her family as well. but to make professional amends, warners offered her this film and tricked it out with good ...

The ladies in this movie are prostitutes or whores. I say that without
malice. The word "slut" was used once. There weren't any prostitutes in Hollywood especially heroines. When the "suckers" come to town, they want to drink, dance, talk &.... In real life Bette Davis had just lost her lawsuit against WB. But the producer finally realized what an asset she
was. Better parts albeit at WB started coming her way. This was her best to date. She absolutely dominated this movie as Mary, a ... Read More

For a slice of pure classic Bette Davis, it has to be MARKED WOMAN (loosely-based on the real-life mobster Lucky Luciano's trial). This 1937 gangster movie from Warner Brothers stars Davis in one of her meatiest roles of the period, and also features Lola Lane and Isabel Jewell in strong support.
Bette Davis plays Mary Dwight. Dwight makes her living by working as a high-class hostess at a "clip joint" run by mobster Johnny Vanning (Eduardo Cianelli). When Mary's innocent kid sister Betty ... Read More

Being a Bette Davis fan, I was surprised that I had overlooked this gem! In it, you will find all the qualities and nuances of Bette's acting style that bear her trademark moves--such as her clipped phrases and wide-eyed blinking frenzies. The director didn't strip her of any of these traits that we have come to love and expect of Miss Davis.
In this film, she plays a "hostess" in a gangster's nightclub. The costumes that she and the rest of the female cast wear are amazing and are sure ... Read More
