The Woman in Red - 1935 ***


Part of my love for all classic movies is the wonderful posters that were advertised. Nothing like nowadays, these colourful pictures summed up what it was to be glamourous. I adore them.
Stanwyck plays Shelby, a gutsy horse rider who falls for Johnny, a travelling polo player who used to be wealthy. Despite resistance from his family and his attractive admirer Nicko they decide to get married. However, a tragic accident on a yacht threatens both their relationship and their future.
Love Barbara Stanwyck, such a powerful actress who wasn't afraid to be herself.
