Street of Forgotten Women
For those who thought "Reefer Madness" was the first exploitation movie you'll be interested to know that the genre was alive and well during the silent era. "Street of Forgotten Women" is the usual potboiler about a rich girl who is disowned by her father when she decides she wants a career in show business. After sinking her money in a stage production which immediately flops, she's forced to try and earn a living dancing in a saloon in her underwear. Even worse, she is forced into prostitution in a slum apartment that just happens to be owned by HER FATHER!!!!!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a classic melodramatic arc, relying on stark contrasts between wealth and destitution, dreams and harsh reality. It explores themes of downfall and social hypocrisy through the exaggerated plot twists characteristic of early exploitation cinema.
What lingers after the final title card is a deliberately sensational story with archetypal characters and a contrived, almost grotesque, irony that underscores its moralizing core. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Norton S. Parker
Best Watched
Watch in dim light as a rare artifact of early exploitation cinema, with allowances for its time.
