Hard boiled dame

Are there any other movies that Stanwyck played such a hard babe? There's Double Indemnity, but I can't come up with any more.

Try Ladies They Talk About from 1933, Stanwyck is at her bad girl best, but NOTHING tops Baby Face!

Thanks. I never heard of that film.

Coming up April 15 at 3am (PST) on TCM, Ladies They Talk About, check it out, she's so tough in it!

Not sure if you're interested in comedies, but how about Remember the Night, The Lady Eve, and Ball of Fire? She's also amazing in Shopworn, but isn't quite a "hard boiled dame", although she is pretty tough.
