Red-Headed Woman

Red-Headed Woman is an American comedy and romance film directed by Jack Conway in 1932. It is about Lillian, a woman who uses sex to elevate her social status. Throughout the film, Lil dissolves a marriage, engages in amorous liaisons long after her own marriage, and attempts murder. However, by the end of the film, Lil experiences no consequences for her actions; instead, she becomes affluent and accepted by society. This film stands as an audacious example of sex in cinema during Hollywood’s remarkable pre-Code era.
