Walk on the Wild Side (1962)
At a 1930s New Orleans bordello, Hallie is the main attraction for both clients and the shrewd madam. The arrival of Dove Linkhorn, her lovesick sweetheart from three years ago, disrupts the normal and triggers a chain of events involving a number of people, including the young woman he travelled with, who is now the Doll House's newest employee.
🏳️🌈 Edward Dmytryk's drama explicitly features a historic, prominent sáfic layer through Jo Courtney (Barbara Stanwyck), a fierce, commanding brothel madam who harbors a passionate, possessive lesbian obsession for Hallie.
