You can't go far wrong with Miriam Hopkins, Eddie G. and Howard Hawks.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Any self-respecting San Franciscan needs to give Barbary Coast a spin.

Rating: B --
It's an entertaining but lesser Hawks film, too conventional in its storytelling to kick up any dust.

When gorgeous gold digger Mary (Miriam Hopkins) lands in San Francisco -- only to discover that her wealthy fiancé has been murdered -- she loses no time hooking up with the richest crook in town (Edward G. Robinson). But when she unexpectedly falls for a handsome, idealistic miner, she soon learns just how much money can't buy -- and just how much she'll risk for a love that worth its weight in gold.
