d4doome<p>The Lady Refuses, a 1931 pre-code melodrama. A rich man hires a prostitute to lure his son away from a gold digger. The whore is the most morally admirable character in the film. Very pre-code, especially the ending. Enjoyable.</p><p>My review: <a href="https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-lady-refuses-1931.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfordoom-movieramblings.blogsp</span><span class="invisible">ot.com/2023/04/the-lady-refuses-1931.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/precodehollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>precodehollywood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/precodemovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>precodemovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/precode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>precode</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/classicmovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>classicmovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/1930smovie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1930smovie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/goldenagehollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>goldenagehollywood</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/BettyCompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BettyCompson</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/PreCodeApril" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PreCodeApril</span></a></p>
