One Lois Weber movie not likely to be endorsed by any wing of the Women's Lib movement.

White Heat is both sexist and racist in presentation and attitude but that may also be the only direction writer/director Lois Weber could have taken it in 1934. The ending finds Leilana, the ever-faithful stand-by-her-man island type, the only character among the leads with any character at all and that was most likely Weber's point. One does have to question Leilana's choice of men, the ever-moody, always-suffering David Newell. Surely, Al Kikume was diving off a point somewhere on this Hawaiian island.
