She climbed the ladder of success -- wrong by wrong! Babara Stanwyck stars as Lily "Baby Face" Powers, a tough woman of unusual beauty who sleeps her way to the top of a banking empire, leaving a trail of broken hearts and marriages in her headstrong quest for fame and fortune. Lily starts life working as a barmaid in her father's factory-town saloon, where she learns to handle herself around tough men. When her father dies, Baby Face takes her maid and moves to New York, where she marries young office boy Jimmy McCoy (Academy Award winner John Wayne), the first in a series of marriages and lovers that ends in control of Gotham Trust.

The Jacobin

Eileen Jones

The gangster film represents “capitalism in a dark mirror..." That includes the way we feel the necessity to rise, to separate ourselves from our families, communities, and the whole suffering...

Baby Face is an open book, again cutting into the lazy hypocrisy and callousness of the many men who cross paths with Stanwyck and continually try to punish her for their infidelities.

Stanwyck's Lily flips gender and power dynamics on their heads.

San Francisco Examiner

Lloyd S. Thompson

The picture is fun, until the final sobs are reached. It is daring material which should draw throngs of good citizens to the box office.

Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles)

Harry Mines

Miss Stanwyck gives a fine portrayal of the vamp whose bitter, mercenary outlook almost loses for her complete happiness. Barbara doesn't miss a trick In putting over her various scenes, and she carries the film to success.
