Norma Crane really chews up the scenery in this unusual story of a female boss criminal. She plays "Lily Dallas," a rough-edged, hot-tempered but very smart and tormented character who pushes around all the men and usually pulls off successful heists. She knows what she's doing, and the men respect that.
Also in the group of thieves-turned-kidnappers is her husband "Blackie" (George Parks) and a flirt "Marty" (Ed Nelson) and the sparks between those two and Lily provide a sub-plot that winds up having a dramatic ending.
This was an interesting story, with a few shocking parts in it.
Notes: Playing Lily's mother is June Vincent, whom film noir fans might recall as the co-star in the 1946 film, "Black Angel." In an uncredited role, we see Barbara Parkins of "Valley Of The Dolls/Peyton Place" fame.
