About Becky Sharp (1935)

Becky Sharp is a 1935 American historical drama film directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Miriam Hopkins, who plays the eponymous protagonist. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Becky Sharp, a socially ambitious young lady, manages to survive during the background years of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. Becky gradually climbs the British social ladder, overcoming poverty and class distinctions, through her best friend Amelia Sedley, praising any rich man who will listen. In her efforts to advance herself, she manages to connect with a number of gentlemen: the Marquis of Steyne, Joseph Sedley, Rawdon Crawley, and George Osborne, the husband of Amelia. She rises to the top of British society but becomes the scourge of the social circle, offending influential ladies such as Lady Bareacres.
