I recommend two film for your enjoyment. The first is "Baby Face" 1933, with Barbara Stanwyck. They recently found the uncut version and I saw it on TCM not too long ago. Netflix will probably still have the cut version, unfortunately. Frankly, those of us used to very tame themes in older films will find this tale of a girl who sleeps her way to the top of the corporate ladder, an eye-opener.
The second is "The Smart Money" with Edward G. Robinson. Again, a film from 1931 that portrays a morally ambiguous protagonist, namely, Eddie G. as a gambling skirt-chaser with a heart of gold. This one is guaranteed to please. Order it and watch it with the whole family. Don't worry. It's not too risque' for Mom.
