![]() ![]() The effect of the heterosexual backlash and the rise of the companionate marriage in the mid- to late 1920s was to push women who loved women further into the closet. This change was a reflection of three important developments: (1) the increased adoption by the general public of the morbidification of sexual relations between women promoted by some sexologists (2) the rise of the studio system in Hollywood and (3) the onset of economic problems connected with the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression. “The atmosphere in the Hollywood lesbian community began to change in the late 1920s and early 1930s. From Screened Out: Playing Gay in Hollywood from Edison to Stonewall by Richard Barrios So it remained over the succeeding decades, when women’s prison movies were one of the few places onscreen where lesbians were allowed to exist openly. Only in strict Ohio, however, did the lesbianism cause any problem Roth’s ‘wrestle’ line was cut. Ladies They Talk About received numerous complaints through the Studio Relations Committee about the robbery scene, about the violence and discussion of prostitution. ‘You’re just always exercising!’ the femme marvels. Wearing a pair of man’s pajamas and with the cigar still in her mouth, she goes through her paces to the delight of a frilly girlfriend sitting in the bed next to her. The camera pans across the cells to take in after-hours vignettes that never occurred in any real-life jail, including a slumber party in lingerie, an inmate cuddling a Pekingese, and the butch woman doing an exhibition round of calisthenics. ![]() Later, less expectedly, we see this butch prisoner’s femme other half. ’She likes to wrestle!’ Like the other inmates, this one is spared the dreariness of prison grooming, being permitted instead to wear the standard Hollywood Dyke getup of a tailored outfit and little bowtie. Another jailbird in this glossy clink is a muscular woman with close-cropped hair and a cigar clamped in her mouth. The only grittier touches (besides Stanwyck’s ingrained Brooklyn moxie) were incidental, such as the inmates yelling ‘New fish!’ when Stanwyck first arrives, and a black inmate talking back ferociously to an imperious white prisoner. Instead of grim prison conditions, Stanwyck’s jail time resembled a stay at a health spa, with glamorous inmates, beauty treatments on demand, and a laid-back air. However, after an opening sequence so realistically recreating a robbery that censors feared it could be a how-to-primer, the movie lapsed into Midnight Romance fantasy.
