Once heartfelt is now camp, 6 January 2009
3/10
Author: dbborroughs from Glen Cove, New York

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Creaky melodrama about a long chain of unreal circumstances that put an innocent woman on the path to the electric chair. Its all to do with bad choices and a mothers love (Mother tries to save the daughter she gave up long ago and all but forgot when a murder occurs).

Its a tough haul since the plot was out of date when the film was made. It doesn't help that the performances are a bit over the top. I found myself giggling. Its the sort of film that may have played okay for a brief period upon its release, but which over the years has drifted more and more i to the realm of camp. Really not my cup of tea.
