Description
Base painting of the vintage movie poster for ''Red-headed Woman'',a 1932 pre-Code romantic comedy film directed by Jack Conway and starring Jean Harlow in the titular role. The film is based on a serialized novel by Katherine Brush.
In "Red-Headed Woman," Jean Harlow portrays Lil Andrews, a beautiful but scheming young woman with ambitions of climbing the social ladder. Lil sets her sights on her wealthy employer, William Legendre Jr. (played by Chester Morris), and stops at nothing to seduce him and break up his marriage to his prim and proper wife, Irene (played by Leila Hyams).
As Lil pursues her goal of marrying into wealth and social prominence, she manipulates and seduces her way into William's life, using her irresistible charm and sex appeal to get what she wants. However, her ruthless tactics and disregard for social conventions soon lead to scandal and tragedy, as Lil's actions threaten to destroy the lives of everyone around her.
"Red-Headed Woman" is celebrated for its bold and provocative portrayal of female sexuality and social mores, as well as Jean Harlow's captivating performance as the cunning and alluring femme fatale. Harlow's portrayal of Lil is both mesmerizing and unsettling, as she imbues the character with a mix of vulnerability, determination, and amorality that is both fascinating and repulsive.
Directed with style and sophistication by Jack Conway, "Red-Headed Woman" is a sharp and witty satire of class and gender relations in early 20th-century America. The film's witty dialogue, risqué humor, and stylish direction make it a classic of pre-Code Hollywood cinema, while Jean Harlow's iconic performance as the irrepressible Lil Andrews remains one of the highlights of her illustrious career.
