Rating: 3/4 -- Essentially a rise-and-fall gangster movie with a gender twist -- 'The Public Enemy' in skirts, at least until the filmmakers lose their nerve and trade toughness for sentiment and cynicism for romance. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Joan Blondell, one of Hollywood's most memorable blondes, gets top billing in this protofeminist crime yarn as tough as a taxi dancer's heart. Blondell's first starring role was also a change of pace for a contract player usually cast as a chorus cutie or the male lead's loyal doxy. Instead she plays the title character, a Depression-downtrodden waif who uses her brains instead of her body to rise from tyro con artist to crime boss. A terrific supporting cast - Chester Morris, Allen Jenkins. Mae Busch, Sterling Holloway - comes along for the rags-to-rackets ride through all the murder and double-crossing that make crime melodrama great entertainment. This time with a woman's touch.

Product Description:

Set during the Depression, this crime drama centers upon a basically honest girl who is forced into prostitution by circumstance. She then becomes a gangster's moll where she learns a bitter lesson about the criminal life.

Blondie Johnson- Starring The Unforgettable Joan Blondell! Movie Lover: from BRONX, NY US -- August, 24, 2015

The Warner Brothers studio had always placed Joan Blondell into supporting parts until this film in 1933 called "Blondie Johnson!" This was her first starring film as she plays a tough Moll with a heart of gold! This film should of propelled Joan Blondell into a big star but it just wasn't meant to be! I mean she had the talent,skill and good looks to become a great actor but maybe I am bias because I am a huge fan of her! This film is very entertaining and holds up very well after 80 years! Joan Blondell gives the performance of her life in this film and I am pretty sure once you view it, you will know what I am talking about!


Blondie Johnson- The Great and Sexy Joan Blondell! Movie Lover: from BRONX, NY US -- August, 21, 2015

This film is very good! Joan Blondell is terrific in her 1st starring role as she plays a tough moll with a heart of gold! This film should of propel Joan Blondell into a big star but it wasn't meant to be! Warner Bros always had her in supporting roles but with the right material like this film, Joan Blondell's talent really shines! In my opinion, Joan Blondell was a beautiful woman inside and out! She was very attractive with a nice figure and spunky as compared to the other actresses in the pre code era! Even James Cagney had a major crush on her! Anyway, view "Blondie Johnson" and be fascinated by the cute Joan Blondell!
