6/10
One tough woman.
2 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Head-strong Beth Austin(Joan Crawford)is no push-over; for anyone. Beth is the leader of a gang of thieves and the mistress of a cold-blooded killer Matt Jackson(David Brian). Matt is trigger happy and the jealous kind...for Beth is every inch a woman. When this lady crime boss finds out her eyesight is failing, she books an operation with maybe the only doctor to save her eyesight, Doc Ben Halleck(Dennis Morgan). Matt promises to lay low and take the bullets out of his gun while Beth is out of town for her surgery. She had no plans to accept the romantic affections of Halleck. Jackson gets very suspicious of his woman and her divorced doctor. This goes on as the FBI narrows in on Beth and her gang. Crawford is her usual hard boiled self and hated this film. She claims to have done it only to finish her contract with the Warner Bros. studio. Also in the cast: Philip Carey, Richard Webb, Ian MacDonald and Mari Aldon.
