The classic story of rise and fall with all the family tragedy and misunderstandings happening to the woman of the night. The story itself seemed to be a heavily censored version so there's nothing much to censor in the actual film which is probably one of the reasons this doesn't work much. It just doesn't know how to treat this story in a good enough way to make it authentic and entertaining and loses every aspect in the process of making it work. But it does do a lot of things right for the time considering how early this is for sound cinema. It's a trainwreck that has some niceties throughout.
