Viewing Notes

Some suspension of belief required but this is probably the best Kay Francis leading role I’ve seen. She goes to prison for a crime she doesn’t commit the gets out some 20 years later (maybe it’s not that long) then starts up a gambling racket with a conman in her old house. She’s really great in this.
