Terrific portrait of a female mobster

Oh my God, I LOVED this TV movie. And above all because it is inspired from actual events, and in the most accurate, faithful way, if you compare with films such as the Irving Cummings one, starring Randy Scott and Gene Tierney, about which I won't say it's crap, but to...

Well, back to this one, I find this piece of work exquisite and the Liz Montgomery absolutely outstanding as a strong and poignant woman, both in the same time. A real gripping tale, with also a good characterization. This could have made a powerful big screen movie. There are not enough films like this one, such a shame. In the same kind of female lead character for a western, seek CALAMITY JANE, made in 1984.

A real must see.
