In court Edith reveals all to an angry mob. Written by Ed Stephan {[email protected]}
Richard Hardy, a hardworking stockbroker, labors overtime to keep up with the ruinous bills incurred by his beautiful but irresponsible wife Edith, a venal, spoiled socialite who is impervious to his pleas for fiscal restraint. Acting on what she believes to be an insider information, she impulsively embezzles $10,000 from the Red Cross charity she chairs for a stock tip. When she finds the money has been lost, she desperately turns to a Japanese ivory trader with whom she has been thoughtlessly flirting and persuades him to replace the money in exchange for an assignation. When her husband's long-awaited business deal finally materializes, she desperately tries to withdraw from their agreement by replacing the money. Angered and disappointed with her resistance to his advances, he uses a branding device to mark her shoulder as his property. Feeling violated, Edith shoots him in the shoulder and leaves. In order to protect his wife's reputation, Richard confesses to the crime and faces trial for attempted murder. Written by Gabe Taverney ([email protected])
观众心声
white male anxiety of their women being raped by yellow men.
【4M】好莱坞古典主义。选择性与指向性的布光方式，单向强烈光源创造戏剧化剪影，画外物体留影于画内浅平活动空间中的人物之间，达以渲染环境以及透露叙事信息。服饰时尚，场景精美，贯以地密尔的奢华风格。惜于丈夫未解详情纯为妻子而认罪站不稳脚，结局照旧，谎言在一圈套一圈后终揭穿，无辜归无罪。
great lightning...nice plot. really liked MR Hardy.
美国文化诸相课上看的 盲选这课也是因为课程大纲里出现了一堆电影 看完还要答简答题翻白眼 无非就是当时的种族歧视和刻板印象 法庭戏叫什么翻转噗
影史意义：influential in popularizing directional, selective lighting; 我的感受：这个老公也太好了吧
