I really enjoy Bette Davis movies. But up to now, I have only known of "Now Voyager", "Dark Victory", "The Letter", "Jezebel", and a few more. Why have I never heard of "Marked Woman?"
The movie is Excellent! Bette Davis is a call girl in a casino; only in the 1930s, they were called hostesses. The movie starts with one of her dates crossing the mob boss, who orders his death. Bette is first called in as a suspect and then as the main witness against the mob boss. Eventually she lies in court to stay out of trouble with the man. When her little sister arrives and figures out what Bette is doing, she wants to be part of it too. That is when the plot really thickens.
The movie is based on the life of Lucky Luciano, who was turned in by a group of prostitutes and gambling employees. The end of the movie is significant because it shows the women walking off into a fog never to be heard of again.
The plot is very good, Bette and her friends dress in fancy clothes, and you never know how it is going to end until it is over. There are even some entertaining songs.
Humphrey Bogart also is a main actor, appearing as the prosecuting attorney.
This is a must-see film for any Bette or Humphrey fan!
