Parole, Inc. (1948)
6/10
POVERTY ROW CRIME EXPOSE...INTERESTING BUT DULL AT TIMES...WITH A SPUNKY CAST
10 September 2021
Somewhat Intriguing Premise is Held Back by Skimpy Budget, Stiff Exposition, and Talky Script.

The Cast including Evelyn Ankers, and Turhan Bay of Universal Horror Fame with a Spritely Lead Michael O'Shea Talking and Taking Us Through the Story of Parole Corruption via Flashback from a Hospital Bed.

In Fact He is so Bandaged Up and obviously Mangled that it is a bit of a Mystery how He Survived the Ordeal and Foreshadows the Brutal Ending.

There are a Few Times the Movie comes to Life but the Therebetween is Plodding and Gabby. Worth a Watch but those Looking for Film-Noir need Go Elsewhere.
