Viewing Notes
Happened to be awake post-surgery and caught this on TCM at the beginning.
If not the first, definitely one of the earliest of the women-in-prison movies, though much tamer than any of the ‘70s or ‘80s era movies that would gain notoriety.
Definitely quite cynical for its time, and a pretty damning indictment of the women’s prison system.
