(DVD, Flicker Alley)
Phyllis Haver is Roxie Hart, a spoiled, manipulative, immature woman who murders her sugar daddy one day in a fit of rage when he leaves her. Victor Varconi is her husband, who at first takes the rap for her, but Roxie gives herself away anyway in another fit of jealousy. Her husband hires the best lawyer but has to stoop to theft to pay for him. A long trial follows, and Roxie once again uses her charms on the judge and jury, getting away with murder. We can only hope her husband has learned his lesson. Roxie's character is despicable and ultimately her charms become annoying, but apparently people can't get enough of this story, as it has been remade several times.
