Sadie McKee

DramaRomance93 min

Joan Crawford is Sadie McKee, a maid and working girl whose search for security pulls her from boarding-house life into a tangle of romance and class upheaval. Gene Raymond is the singer she loves; Edward Arnold’s hard-drinking millionaire offers another path, and Franchot Tone is the lawyer from her old neighborhood who stays in her orbit as her circumstances change. Clarence Brown’s 1934 drama moves Sadie from servants’ quarters to drawing rooms, keeping its focus on the bargains, disappointments, and stubborn independence that come with trying to choose her own future.
