Speaking of "Bad Girl's" dominant theme in a recent inter- view, Frank Borzage, the produc- tion's director said, "Bad Girl" was fundamentally interesting, both as novel and as a stage play, because it dared to strike away from the car- rent trend of pseudo-sophistication in literature and drama and tell
