Never heard of this but the little girl had me HOWLING. And it's just not possible for E.G. Robinson to be bad. What a great find.

While not formally blacklisted, Edward G. Robinson was confronted at the time with dwindling offers in his profession. His co-star in this production, Marsha Hunt, was denounced in 1950-two years prior to this film- in the pages of Red Channels, the bible of blacklisting. This picture was one of the few she managed to appear in during that period. Thereafter she was effectively blocked from working in Hollywood. Marsha Hunt found other outlets for her artistic and intellectual energies and died in 2022 at the age of 104. Director Ben Hecht was the industry's highest paid script writer but his political stance in favor of the civil rights movement, against antisemitism, and in opposition to censorship had by 1952 rendered him suspect in the eyes of studio chiefs and guardians of public morality. Numerous other names attached to this production were regarded in rightwing circles as potentially disloyal to their rigidly narrow notion of America. The McCarthy era, we must remember, was neither the first nor the last episode of mass political censorship and punishment of dissent in the U.S. We have only to look around us today.

Mr. Robinson had an on screen charisma and charm all his own.

An extraordinary gem of a film impossible to be made in any other point in Hollywood history!

This was very entertaining. Ben Hecht was a great satirist. Edward G. Robinson and Marsha Hunt were terrific. Woman of Sin was very funny and the parody is spot on. The child is a tiny bit creepy. I think it's the voice. Eddie Albert was very good. Thanks for posting.

Great actor loved Him in Double indemnity, thank you.

Edward G Robinson nothing to say about his great Talent ❤

The second half sounds closer to classic Hecht than the first, although the emoting in the first half was pretty solid parody of theatre dramas. Not the best Hollywood parody I've seen, but worth the time. Thanks for the upload!

Excellent actor. I love him. Besides that, all acting in these old movies is great. Full of suspense. Not like the modern ones with wild car-scenes, sex, murder, violence and an exhausting tempo. So stressing, I stopped watching them.

EG Robinson is great as always, but I want to see more Eddie Albert. He is BRILLIANT in this, skewering the narcissistic writers' agents and the whole scene. Oliver Douglas was terrific, but I wish he had done more films. He's so hilarious. Also, in Green Acres, he's forced to be the straight man surrounded by crazies. I prefer it when he is the funny one.

This has to win an award for most awkward movie title.

The little girl who played Daisy Archer in Woman of Sin was Jenny Hecht. She was daughter of Ben Hecht, the writer, producer, etc of this film. Jenny was nine years old when this movie was made. According to IMDb she was sanctioned by Actor's Equity for biting another actress while performing in a play. The biting was not intended to be part of the play.
