Mainly #Barbanuary but #Japanuary continues to provide an astonishing range to this mangenue.

Forbidden [1932]
Dir: Frank Capra
Stars: Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Bellamy

Raw Nietzschean Stanwyck fucks a railwayman in a cargo train one day, and a randy executive in the ladies' room on another. Then she does his father, for advancement that ultimately proves to be hollow. The original end is better than the bowdlerised edition, but still too tame.

A Pygmalionesque plot echoed as Capra unveils Stanwyck's acting range. The highlight is the sexy scene of unrequited love in Graves’s apartment where her expressive acting is pitch-perfect. Marie Prevost (Sennett and Lubitsch alumnus) is a hoot, and her comic timing is wonderful.

Indeed. Also @filmfan1971.bsky.social is doing a #Barbanuary thing (focusing on Barbara Stanwyck), which sounds fun!

#Barbanuary continues.

Or #BarbaraStanuary, if you prefer.

So, I guess #Barbanuary is happening.

I’m not saying that *everyone* should do #Barbanuary - where we all watch Barbara Stanwyck movies all month - but I AM saying that her three best movies are currently on BBC iPlayer (Double Indemnity), Amazon Prime (Ball of Fire) and Channel 4 (The Lady Eve), respectively.
