Today is the 118th anniversary of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire in San Francisco. Wild Bill Wellman directed Ruth Chatterton in Frisco Jenny, a strong pre-code movie. The Earthquake and Fire kills Jenny's father and fiancee, and she gives birth soon after. She becomes involved in prostitution and has to give up her son. Her son grows up to be a lawyer and then district attorney. He doesn't know he is prosecuting his mother for murder and before she is hanged, she begs her old friend never to tell him.
