  Marked Woman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marked Woman is the title of a crime melodrama film released by Warner Brothers Studios in 1937.
She was reported to be very pleased with the script and the dramatic possibilities it afforded her; Jack Warner was said to be equally pleased by the huge public reaction in favour of Davis, which he rightly predicted, would increase the appeal and profitability of her films.
Set in the underworld of Manhattan, "Marked Woman" tells the story of a woman who dares to stand up to one of the city's most powerful gangsters.

 dOc DVD Review: Marked Woman (1937)
Marked Woman was their peace offering, and Davis appreciated the gesture, hoping similar fine roles would follow.
Marked Woman shows it ain't easy, and the reward may not be great, but it can be done, and from that standpoint, it's an important film.
The 12-minute featurette, Marked Woman: Ripped from the Headlines, examines the film's topical nature and how the characters mirror such real-life figures as gangster Lucky Luciano and prosecutor Thomas Dewey (who would later become New York's governor and lose a tight presidential race to incumbent Harry S. Truman in 1948).

As well, Marked Woman communicates contempt, not just for the gangsters who treat women as disposable commodities, but also for the process by which Graham makes a name for himself at the expense of their reputations.
The sophistication of Marked Woman's critique of gender and power relations is startling, but it's not completely anomalous in the context of the old studio system.
This is not to say that Marked Woman was just a happy accident; rather, its example illustrates what could be accomplished as the result of the combination of enabling industrial factors and dependable talents.

 DVD Review: Marked Woman
In Marked Woman, Betty Davis plays the snappy, titular character in this above-average crime-drama about the career of Lucky Luciano who financed his stay at the Waldorf-Astoria from the proceeds of his merry band of “hostesses” (translation: prostitutes), a story ripped straight from the headlines of the mid-thirties.
Mary returns to Graham for help and Vanning, expectedly not quick to lie down, sends some of his goons to pay her a visit, to make her a ‘marked woman’ by slicing an x into her face and beating her to near death.
Special Features include an informative featurette entitled ‘Marked Woman: Ripped from the Headlines’ which details the actual account of the 1936 Lucky Luciano trial and also covers the feud between Bette Davis and the studio and the pairings of Davis and Bogart.

Bette Davis' famous walk-out from her home studio of Warner Bros. may have hurt her financially, but in the long run it paid off with bigger parts in better films.
Like many Warners films of the period, Marked Woman was "torn from today's headlines." Specifically, it was inspired by the recent downfall of gangster Lucky Luciano, who at one time controlled all prostitution activities in New York.
The ladies herein are euphemistically characterized as "night club hostesses," but when Luciano look-alike Johnny Vanning (Eduardo Cianelli) shows up at a fancy clip-joint to give the girls their marching orders, the audience can tell exactly what's going on.
