Skyscraper Souls (US Import MOD BLU-RAY) Coming to Our Shelves October 2026
US Import
Before Hollywood's censors locked down the silver screen, M-G-M unleashed a racy, scandalous look at the high-stakes world of corporate greed and forbidden desire. At the center of it all is the screen's definitive pre-code scoundrel, Warren William, delivering a masterclass in suave villainy. William stars as David Dwight, a silver-tongued financial wolf who rules Manhattan from the penthouse of his new 100-story Art Deco skyscraper. Dwight will stop at nothing to get what he wants—whether it is full ownership of his towering monument or the virtue of every woman who enters his orbit.
While this fast-paced melodrama bristles with the gritty realism, shocking cynicism, and gold-digging ambition more commonplace in the pre-code films of Warner Bros., Skyscraper Souls infuses that same raw energy with the peerless luxury of the M-G-M house style. The result is a breathtakingly sleek, morally uncompromised thrill ride. Dwight casually ruins investors by day while juggling a sophisticated mistress (Verree Teasdale) and predatory designs on an innocent new secretary (Maureen O'Sullivan) by night. It is a dizzying descent into a world of penthouse seductions, corporate blackmail, and unchecked hedonism that rushes toward a staggering climax.
