How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pre-code melodrama that follows a woman's descent into San Francisco's underworld after tragedy forces her into impossible choices. It's a portrait of survival and compromise told with the moral complexity and edge that only pre-code cinema dared.
