What critics compared Baby Face to
An erotic thriller, "Secret Things'' aspires to the intrigue and moral complexity of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses,'' but it plays rather like a humorless version of Barbara Stanwyck's tongue-in-cheek classic, "Baby Face'' (1933).
Darkly comedic, Secret Things is in league with Barbara Stanwyck’s Baby Face (1933), in which a working class girl sleeps her way to the top.
From Bonnie and Clyde and Barbara Stanwyck’s Baby Face to Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers’ musicals, Gyllenhaal doesn’t spare any reference in this charming abomination, not even a wink to the Bard himself.
