Silent from 1929. This revolved around the introduction of an exotic new dancer in a night club's mix of performances. Played as melodrama but wasn't too melodramatic.
Nice framing, slow, patient pacing to the story. AMW was excellent as the calculating usurper. She was sexy and believable as a poor girl clawing her way out of poverty.
A forgotten silent gem.
