Ladies of Leisure (1930) (original) (raw)
Kay, a cynical, streetwise party girl lands a job as a model for aspiring painter Jerry Strong, the son of a wealthy railroad magnate. When their work sessions eventually evolve into a serious romantic relationship, Jerry's status-conscious parents attempt to buy Kay off like a common prostitute. This movie marked Frank Capra's association with Barbara Stanwyck (they would make five movies together) and his first feature with screenwriter Jo Swerling, who would become a frequent collaborator.
