Movie Reviews of Born to Be Bad

Movie Review: neat pre-code melodrama
Summary: 3 Stars

"Born to be Bad", made by Twentieth Century Pictures before they merged with Fox, is a fast moving pre-code melodrama possibly made as Daryl F. Zanuck's response to Warner's "Baby Face" and MGM's "Red Headed Woman". The interest in the film today is that Loretta Young plays against type as a promiscuous dame with an illegitimate son whom she raises to defy any sort of authority. Young is on record as loathing the film, not the least for the morals, or lack of, which the film depicts. However, that judgement ignores that here is the sexy radiant Young playing a tough broad very convincingly. A wooden Cary Grant plays opposite her.

The print is OK and there are no extras. The DVD is quite expensive and only worth seeing for Young.
