Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFilm has some rather blatant and oddball plugs for Warner Brothers stars. In several scenes photos of Joe E. Brown (whom Lillian Roth sings to) and Dick Powell are seen in the women's cells.
- GoofsWhen Linda meets Nan, they stroll down a path through the prison yard. It's clear that the background of the path is projection footage as there is gusty wind violently whipping a tree and shrubbery around, yet their hair doesn't move.

[Nan calculatingly exposes her legs]
District Attorney: You're wasting that panorama on me, Nan. Save it for Dave Slade.

Featured review
Pre-code Stanwyck
Nan Taylor (Barbara Stanwyck) is caught trying to help three men rob a bank. She sweet talks an innocent, powerful man David Slade (Preston Foster) into defending her, but confesses at the last minute. She's sent to prison and plots her revenge. The prison has a lesbian (shown once), a black prisoner who actually has lines (very surprising for the 1930s), a bird that terrorizes the inmates (don't ask), catfights and some pretty elaborate cells for the women. It makes prison seem like a great place to be!
A definite one of a kind with some pretty risque (for 1933) lines and situations. Barbara Stanwyck is just great in the title role. She tears into it and gives it her all--especially at the end. Lillian Roth also is very good as a fellow prisoner. As for Foster--he's tall and handsome...that's about it, but he fulfills his role.
Tough, fun, very quick (69 minutes) pre-Code movie. Definetely worth a look.
