Jean Harlow Top Ten

1) Red Dust (1932) - sexy, sweaty melodrama which holds up very well
2) Red Haired Woman (1932) - racy pre code stuff with Harlow throwing herself at everyone and not being punished
3) Libeled Lady (1936) - very funny rom com with four excellent stars
4) Dinner at Eight (1933) - great MGM all star stuff
5) Bombshell (1933) - glorious screwball comedy, delightfully cynical
6) Beast of the City (1932) - little known gangster film which is remarkable for its toughness
7) Hell's Angels (1930) - amateurish in many ways, this is still a very interesting film
8) China Seas (1935) - not as much fun as Red Dust this is still pretty entertaining
9) Platinum Blonde (1931) - Harlow should have played Loretta Young's role but this isn't bad
10) Public Enemy (1931) - Harlow doesn't have much of a role but the film is good - better than many Harlow behicles
