With a new CEX having recently open near by,I started to gather DVD that I could trade it.As I picked up the final DVDs from the shelf,I was shocked to spot a Pre-Code title which I've been meaning to view for ages,which led to me getting ready to experience a new sensation.
The plot:
Joining Trixie Snell's showgirl dance troop,Dale Jordon and close friend Jerry Royal find themselves getting aboard with the rest of Snell's gang on a luxury cruise ship to Panama.With them being miles away from Panama,Snell takes advantage of the ship being filled with single men,by having the women offer private dances to each of their fellow travellers's,whilst also becoming experts in pick pocketing,when every man's gaze on the ship is cast towards another showgirl.
Despite being the best at hustling cash,Jordon finds herself soon wanting to get out of this lifestyle.Catching the attention (and a bundle of cash) from Jim Crosby,Jordon begins to notice that the wealthy Crosby appears to be falling in love with her,which leads to Jordon setting her sights on a new sensation.
View on the film:
Given a busted DVD transfer by Alpha Video,the screenplay by Whitman Chambers, Albert DeMond and Paul Schofield is largely able to sail over the rough waves by mixing melodrama with dollops of Pre-Code ranch.Keeping away from openly revealing what the showgirls are showing,the writer's are cleverly able to give strong hints by showing Trixie Snell constantly pushing the women to grab the cash out of the suckers hands.
Focusing on 'new girl' Dale Jordon,director Charles Vidor tastelessly uses footage from the real life GeeBee Racer crash to set Jordon sailing into the high-life,with Vidor using rather suggestive open dresses to show Jordon and the other girls desires to get away from their low- lives.Despite disappointingly giving the movie an extremely ill-fitting 'happy' ending,Vidor shows Jordon's attempts to reach the high-life,to be a dream which leads to her ending up in seedier and seedier places.
Teaming up for the movie, Marion Burns and Arline Judge each give alluring performances as Dale Jordan and Jerry Royal.Burns gives Jordon a naturally sweet,soulful side,whilst Judge gives an excellent performance as the hard living Jerry Royal,as Judge shows Royal to be unafraid to go up against the tough as leather madam Trixie, (played by a great Juanita Hansen-sadly appearing in her last title,and her one and only 'talkie') as Jordon begins to discover a new sensation.
