Marked Woman

I normally don't like movies with much violence in it and although it doesn't show the violence it is disturbing but it is an excellent movie and Betty Davis does an excellent job, what else is new!!!

This is not like most Bette Davis pictures you’ve ever seen. That’s because it’s really an ensemble piece, as many of the other taxi dancers have considerable roles. The role that she plays is actually more like some thing Joan Blondell would be doing in a similar Warner Bros. movie: glib-tongued working gal who finds herself roughed up by the mob’s goons and turns state’s evidence. Eduardo Cianelli is a really great villain!

I am a Bette Davis fan and this is one of her best - with a cast including Mayo Methot (Bogart's first wife), Bogart and some notable others, it amazes how the studio began placing Bette Davis in roles of a siren, after dubbing her "the little Brown Wren" when she first arrived in Hollywood. Apparently, she cleaned up better than they thought (The Little Foxes, Now Voyager, Jezebel, Dark Victory), and what's more, she could act.This is an interesting story of the oppressed versus forces that appear to be too great to withstand. But one event in the movie changes things so that there is a paradigm shift. Its a well acted movie with a good plot. Be sure to catch Bette after the mob has beaten her and she is all bandaged up - she actually drove off of the set and went to a doctor to be appropriately bandaged and have her cheeks stuffed with gauze to realistically simulate the swelling that would arise from such a beating.Nice film, nice acting job, worth watching.

The scene where Bette Davis sister is on terrace. You see the old man get fresh with the sister, but what was cut from the movie is where the sister gets thrown down a flight of stairs. Instead the movie jumps to the scene where Bette Davis is in a flashy dress. The funny thing is in the bonus section “Marked Women: Ripped From The Headlines” the throw down scene is shown. I can’t see the need for the studio to edit it out for violence, since it’s tame by todays standards. I should ask for my money back, but I won’t. It’s still a great Bette Davis movie.

GREAT MOVIE FROM ONE OF THE BEST

Excellent acting, Bette Davis character courage & Humphrey Bogart D.A. character brains vs the Mob Boss (played by Eduardo Ciannelli ) and his Hench Men ruthless intiminating tactics makes for a great movie .

I tried to play the disc in 3 different DVD players and it would not play. The region information needs to provided in the description of the product.

Loved the movie.

Bette Davis a son meilleur. Classé dans ces 10 meilleurs films.

Muy buena película de gánster, donde Bette Davis interpreta a una mujer de alterne que trabaja junto a sus amigas, en el garito del malo de la película, Vanning. Davis trabaja en eso para pagarle los estudios a su hermana menor quien se presenta de sorpresa donde su hermana, alterando todo para las hermanas. Bogart es el fiscal que hace todo lo posible por atrapar a Vanning. Muy recomendable

Un film marquant qu'on n'oublie pas. Bette Davis joue bien la femme tourmenté par le remord. Elle donne la réplique à Bogart qui interprète un avocat plein de verve qui défend les faibles contre les véreux.Film fortement recommandé

Todo bien

Perfect
