My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Bad Girl (1931)

This might be the worst title of an Oscar nominated film ever.  It's an extremely misleading title and that's a shame because this is a wonderful albeit aged film about a boy and a girl falling in love and by assumptions and miscommunications head down a possible train wreck of a marriage.  It's funny and uplifting story with lots of charm.  James Dunn and Sally Eilers star and their chemistry works wonders.  Directed by Frank Borzage.  Grade: B+
