Baby Face (Alfred E. Green, 1933).

#BarbaraStanwyck plays Lily Powers, a young woman who works for her father Nick in an Erie, Pennsylvania speakeasy. Nick has been forcing her to have sex with the customers. After one customer introduces her to Nietzsche (specifically, Will to Power), Lily decides to use sex to get what *she* wants. She moves to New York City and immediately sleeps with a clerk in a bank’s personnel office to get a job. Then she proceeds to sleep with a chain of bosses to gain promotions, discarding each man when she’s through with him. (At one point, she even deliberately sabotages an engagement.) Lily’s plan works well . . . until one man refuses to be dumped, at which point the story takes a turn. This movie is a classic of #precode Hollywood.
