The Purchase Price (1932)
Directed By William A. Wellman ⋅ 1932 ⋅ 68 min
Barbara Stanwyck plays a sultry torch singer on the lam in this spicy Pre-Code drama. After getting engaged to a society swell, Joan Gordon promptly quits her nightclub gig and kicks gangster boyfriend Ed Fields (Lyle Talbot) to the curb. But when her past catches up with her, Joan ends up sans fiancé and on the run from her hoodlum ex. Hiding out in Montreal, Joan hooks up with a naïve farmboy (George Brent) and sets up an arranged marriage. But the plains of North Dakota aren’t big enough to hide a life like Joan’s and Ed soon comes calling.
Starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, Lyle Talbot
