Plot
The most interesting talkie in the Murnau/Borzage/Fox set is certainly
Borzage's Bad Girl (1931), a pre-Code comedy-drama starring the
now-little-remembered Sally Eilers and James Dunn. Bad Girl is very
much a movie of the Depression. It depicts the tough times of 1931 New
York, with much of the story revolving around issues of money and
trying to "make it" despite the hardships. Eilers plays a dress model
living in a tenement with her loutish older brother, who keeps her on
a short leash lest she fall down the road to ruin and lose her virtue.
Dunn is a radio repairman - a real "dese 'n dose" New Yorker. He falls
for Eilers and they eventually get married. In an episodic manner
spanning several months, we watch Dunn gradually give up on (or at
least delay) his professional dreams in order to buy things that will
make Eilers happy, such as furniture and a large apartment. He even
takes up boxing - knowing he will be pummeled - in order to make some
extra cash to afford a Park Avenue doctor whom Eilers longs to deliver
their baby.
