FAYE EMERSON was a competent actress who never became a major star during her short career at Warner Bros., but she was usually among the prominent supporting players in A-films. Here she's given the leading femme role as a LADY GANGSTER in what is a remake of an old Barbara Stanwyck film.
FRANK WILCOX gets the male lead and is rather bland in the role of a radio commentator who wants to help Emerson beat the rap when the police arrest her in connection with a bank robbery gone wrong. Emerson has to serve a prison sentence--and there we get a supporting cast of female prisoners including JULIE BISHOP, RUTH FORD and DOROTHY ADAMS.
VIRGINIA BRISSAC (Miss Seiffert with the hearing aid in THE SNAKE PIT) is a prison supervisor and DOROTHY VAUGHAN is a kindly matron, among the supporting role players.
Moves swiftly but is a routine B-film with a gangster element. JACKIE GLEASON has a bit role as one of the bank robbers but it's ROLAND DREW who is the chief villain among the robbers, ludicrous when he's in drag disguised as a woman to visit Emerson in jail.
Forgettable little item interesting only for Emerson's performance.
