Customer Reviews of Illicit
STANWYCK IS EXCELLENT Barbara Stanwyck wowed the critics in 1931 with this performance. She plays Anne, a free-spirited gal who believes that marriage kills love. Here, Stanwyck heightened the fine impression she made in LADIES OF LEISURE (1930). In ILLICIT, she has several splendid oppurtunities to prove her worth as a dramatic actress; particularly good is her emotional scene at the telephone. ILLICIT is amazing in that its unconventional treatment holds up even today; its even more meaningful when you consider the sexual revolution of the 1960's. For 1931, it was daring indeed. The naturalness of the dialogue and the restrained direction of Archie Mayo provided Stanwyck with the material to create a near-perfect performance and was paid 35,000 for this role! Lew Cody was originally to play the part of Price Baines but it was inherited by Ricardo Cortez. ILLICIT caused quite a storm in its day - it was actually re-made just two years later as a starring vehicle for a rising new Warner Bros. starlet named Bette Davis. It was a trashy little epic entitled EX-LADY.
