Millie (1931)

Playing out over the course of nearly 20 years, 'Millie' features poor Helen Twelvetrees repeatedly betrayed by men, resulting in a failed marriage and a broken quasi-engagement. An embittered Millie murders a lecherous older man when he takes aim at her estranged 16 year old daughter. Thing is I've seen movies like this before, this is not a unique story line for pre code film. The movie is pretty meandering until around it's final third. **
