Ladies of the Big House

Ladies of the Big House (1931) is worth hunting down. Never getting a official DVD release Sylvia Sidney gives her all with those big soulful eyes and deep vulnerability balanced with real strength. This Pre-Code drama could have been a throwaway movie but all the actors make you deeply care about what they are facing. This movie balances heart,a compelling story and Pre-Code drama at it's finest. A obscure movie I hope more people discover and see it's value past it's exploitation sounding title.It's so much more.
