Auction History Result LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT WC, mini Appears in Hershenson Pressbook CollectionThe image at right is provided for reference purposes and we do not we have it available for purchase, nor do we know of anyone who does! Ladies They Talk About, the 1933 Howard Bretherton & William Keighley women-in-prison crime melodrama ("Don't do what Barbara Stanwyck does in Ladies They Talk About"; based on the play by Dorothy Mackaye & Carlton Miles; set in San Quentin State Penitentiary; about a woman who gets involved with some crooks planning a robbery, and she is caught during the robbery, and there is not much evidence against her, but she confesses and is sent to a state prison, where she is incarcerated with tough black and white female inmates!) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Preston Foster, Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth, and Maude Eburne. Note that there were many surprising elements to this pre-Code women-in-prison movie, including having black female inmates with speaking roles and a lesbian scene, something that was never done in movies from the major Hollywood studios at this time. This was one of those movies that helped bring about the Production Code, and, of course, the wonderful art a barely clad Barbara Stanwyck on the one-sheet, by famed pinup artist Alberto Vargas, certainly greatly helped "sell" the movie!
