  London Film Festival - Films - Baby Face   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Baby Face is perhaps the most notorious exemplar of pre-Code Hollywood cinema, the period from 1930-34 before the Production Code Administration's censorship rules were strictly enforced.
When the film was released in June 1933, it generated controversy nonetheless.
It is preceded by another racy Stanwyck vehicle from 1931, Night Nurse, preserved by the LoC from the original camera negative, in which she is a private carer who uncovers a ruthless plot to murder two children; her motherly resolve is reminiscent of her star turn in 1937's Stella Dallas.

  Baby Face Nelson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lester M. Gillis (December 6, 1908 - November 27, 1934), also known as George Nelson but better known as Baby Face Nelson due to his youthful appearance, was a bank robber in the 1930s.
A running gun battle between FBI agents and Nelson on November 27, 1934 resulted in the death of one FBI agent, Herman Hollis, and the mortal wounding of special agent Samuel P. Cowley, who was still able to mortally shoot Nelson.
Nelson is buried at Saint Joseph Cemetery in River Grove, IL.

 Film and Movies in Silicon Valley | Movie Review | 'Baby Face' and 'Night Nurse'
And the 1933 movie Baby Face shows the will-power with which she took control of her life.
Now free of that preaching ending, Stanwyck is a variety of women: the nail-tough gamine, the fur-wrapped penthouse dweller, the unrepentant hustler and the sorrowing lover whose heart overrules her head.
In Baby Face, Stanwyck has the DNA of all Hollywood movie heroines, and she keeps the shifts in mood intact through force of silky personality, and her rock-hard sense of humor.

"Baby Face" was quite racy for its day and had the censors in an uproar, so much in fact that it was horribly butchered with poor editing (some scenes you can't even hear them finish a sentence before it cuts to the next scene!) and was banned for years.

The funny thing is - and the Film Forum's new print of "Baby Face," with much of the censored footage restored, reinforced this point - "Baby Face" had a moral code as rigid as the Old Testament, with sinners held to full account.
For all this, "Baby Face" is a study in the power of subtlety.

 Baby Face Nelson Film Review - Time Out Film
Rooney is surprisingly and superbly cast as the Depression desperado increasingly unable to control his outbursts of irrational violence, while the supporting cast - including Gordon as John Dillinger - is expertly deployed.
But it is the sheer pace and economy of Siegel's direction that lend the film its anarchic energy; recreation of period is almost ignored in favour of an emphasis on actions exemplifying the anti-hero's sexually-insecure neuroses.
The annual Time Out Film Guide includes 15,000 films reviewed over the last 36 years by Time Out critics, covering every area of cinema: Hollywood mainstream and B-movie horrors, documentaries and avant garde, French, Far Eastern, classic silents and 1930s comedies.

 Critique please. New baby photo.
We all love babies, and this an appealing shot with the contrast in size between the adult finger and the baby's hand.
If you eliminated the baby's face entirely and moved in a lot you might do something interesting with just their hands, but showing the face does make it a portrait, like it or not.
Maybe a little reflector placed direcly over the baby to slightly better illumination on the baby's face and the top of the hand would give the picture a little more warmth.

 Loss Article 4
It is possible to take pictures of babies who have died quite a while before they were delivered and babies who have birth defects at delivery.
For example, a parent who has a child with anencephaly will probably want a full face picture along with a few where the birth defect is disguised (this can be done by simply putting a hat on the baby).
Another way to make pictures easier for the parents and their family to view is to consider using a roll of fl and white film, which will mask any discoloration the baby may have.
