THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

A real estate salesman leaves his family for a blonde gold-digger who is scheming with her gangster boyfriend to swindle her new sugar daddy.

A lightweight, oh-so modern affair from film pioneer D.W. Griffith, The Battle of the Sexes reveals the director’s shift from historical epics to appeal to a contemporary, urbane sensibility. Griffith evokes a resplendent new world of jazz clubs and love affairs, and the results are delightful!
