Baby Face (1933)

In the grimy underbelly of a small industrial town, Lily Powers, dubbed "Baby Face," is more than just a speakeasy bartender in her father's dilapidated joint. Her life takes a dramatic turn when her father's death catapults her from the cellar's gloom into the glimmering skyline of New York. Armed with her devastating looks and a ruthless determination, she ascends, one man at a time, through the towering hierarchy of a prestigious New York office building. As Baby Face, she tastes the intoxicating power of her allure, using it to pave a path from the basement to the bank's upper echelons. The bank's sub-manager, Jimmy McCoy, is just a stepping stone on her relentless climb, providing her with a job only to be callously discarded as she ensnares the bank's president in her web. As her rise continues unchecked, she declares her exhaustion from her efforts, stating she must retire early each night - a sly nod to the true nature of her ascending exploits. In a world where she was once a pawn, "Baby Face" becomes the player, transforming from speakeasy server to skyscraper conqueror. She navigates the murky waters of ambition with a cynicism born from her past, stepping over men without a second glance. The tale of Lily "Baby Face" Powers is a riveting exploration of a woman's ruthless journey to the top, where charm is her ladder and men are merely rungs.
