January 17 movie: Faithless. Tallulah Bankhead and Robert Montgomery star as a socialite and a .. I can't remember exactly but he had some kind of respectable career. Anyway it's about the two of them sinking to the absolute bottom during the Depression, and finding love with each other on the way. Montgomery tries to get work as a scab truck driver, but the union truck drivers attack him and he's horribly injured, forcing Bankhead into prostitution to pay his medical bills. But Montgomery forgives her. He does that a lot in those early 30s movies. Seems like he's always the guy who forgives the woman for prostitution or being a kept woman or whatnot. I enjoyed the movie, mainly for getting to see Bankhead on screen. Her voice was amazing.
