*** “Marked Woman.” MGM/UA. $24.95.

This grim Warner Bros. gangster melodrama, based on New York D.A. Tom Dewey’s crackdown on Mafia vice lord Lucky Luciano--is regarded by some critics as a milestone of feminist cinema: a reputation that stems from the hard edge of Robert Rossen and Abem Finkel’s script. Typically for Rossen, the hookers are portrayed as heroines, risking their lives to bring the gangster (Eduardo Ciannelli) to justice. The salty gallery is led by Bette Davis and includes Lola Lane and Mayo Methot (the one-time Mrs. Humphrey Bogart); Bogart plays Tom Dewey. Director Lloyd Bacon gives it the house Warners style--but what lingers afterward is the doomed gallantry of the prostitutes, marching off like Jean Gabin into the fog: the peculiar, gray, wet air of Depression idealism.
