Featured review
Fascinating glimpse of stock-market greed in the 30s
"Frank" drama about a woman who needs lots of expensive things, or she "just can't stand it". Much better than its reputation, this flick has a good script and good acting from Chatterton, Brent, and great acting by Henry Kolker as an elderly lover. But it's primarily interesting because of its depiction of stock-market worship, and its relationship to whoredom. Short (58 minutes) but classy; another good one from director Dieterle ("Hunchback of ND").
