Review of The Woman Condemned

This z grade mystery ponders along at a creeping hour, seldom revealing anything to give the viewer any clues if what's happening other than a radio singer being murdered and the wrong woman being accused of the crime. Lola Lane is the singer who finishes her session, goes home, lies around in bed and tries to avoid those concerned about her. When she is shot dead, Claudia Dell, who was lurking around trying to get a scoop on her, is arrested for her murder, although it's very apparent that she's innocent. Whoever thought up this twisted story had no idea of how to engage their audience or put a story down on paper. Dell overacts to the point of melodrama, but Louise Beavers adds a touch of life to this dreary fiasco.
