Oversexed in the City: The Saga of “Baby Face” (1933)

Think films from Hollywood’s golden age are all tame, innocent, and sexless? Well, you haven’t met “Baby Face”!  Barbara  Stanwyck achieves upward mobility horizontally as pre-code Hollywood's most notorious good-time gal, Lily Powers, who has never met a bed she couldn't man, and a man she couldn't bed.  Join Tony and Brad as they  discuss her raw portrayal of Lily Powers, a woman who defies her era's norms, leveraging her allure for power and success. Join them for a vivid retelling of "Baby Face's" narrative, embarking on Lily's journey from the speakeasy underbelly of Erie, Pennsylvania, to the towering corporate ladders of New York City. As they navigate through her calculated conquests, they expose the censorship skirmishes that "Babyface" endured, offering a peek into the industry's past censorship battles. 

Will co-star George Brent's character be the one to tame Stanwyck's wanton ways?
