This movie is very well directed and acted. Loretta Young is beautiful as Mary Martin, hard luck case who has drifted into a life of crime. Left orphaned during the depression and unable to find a job, she takes up with a gangster.
Mary fall in love with a nice guy attorney and from thence complications ensue. She desperately wants to leave her sordid life behind. Now on trial for murder she relates her life in flash backs to a sympathetic prison clerk.
The film holds your attention from start to finish. There is some great dialogue. The black and white background is appropriate. It lends the right atmosphere.
