As a B-movie featuring several major stars in career transition—some up, some down—The Big Shakedown is exemplary of the films that shaped this pivotal period of Davis’ career in the years before she shot to super stardom.
One of several movies made by Bette Davis in 1933, The Big Shakedown (1934) is considered the runt of the litter - if only because the actress is stuck playing the good girl role of fiancé (and later wife) to pharmacist hero Charles Farrell while fourth-billed Glenda Farrell, as a racketeer's moll, gets to have all the fun.
