[[caption-width-right:350: The Ladies of Leisure]]
''Ladies of Leisure'' (1930) is a Creator/FrankCapra film, starring Creator/BarbaraStanwyck, Marie Prevost, and Ralph Graves.
This early sound film follows the story of prostitute Kay (Stanwyck) who falls for WASP painter Jerry (Graves) and their struggle to love despite their class difference.
This film began the director-actor relationship between Stanwyck and Capra which would result in three more pre-code films and ''Film/MeetJohnDoe''.
Fun fact: There is a sound and a silent version of this film (characteristic of this transitional period in film history), but whether with or without spoken dialogue, both versions highlight Joseph Walker’s gorgeous cinematography.

*DatingWhatDaddyHates: Kay, a former prostitute, is not worthy for the extremely rich and WASP-y Strongs.
*DefrostingIceQueen: Once Jerry treats Kay like a human rather than an object, she lets her tough girl façade down.
*DisposableFiancé: Jerry’s got one, and she conveniently never returns after a second scene.
*DrivenToSuicide: While breaking his heart, Kay thinks suicide is the only answer to her troubles.
*EpicTrackingShot: Epic for the early sound film era anyway. The film begins with bottles smashing on pavement, then there’s a pan up a tall building which slowly zooms on a party of drunken revelers who were throwing the bottles.

*HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Kay describes herself as a “party-girl” but that’s code for prostitute, through and through.
*MatchCut: The sophisticated tea of the Strongs is match cut with the practical hot coffee (sustenance for a long night out, no doubt) for Kay and Dot.
*MyOwnPrivateIDo: Given that Jerry’s parents don’t approve of the marriage, Jerry and Kay decide to run away together to Arizona of all places because Jerry is keen on the state.
