On Probation

The movie is a re release from2009 by Alpha video. It is not is good shape noisy is only a part of the problem. The film was chopped up and put back together with out much concern over the years, so what is left had some sizable gaps plus it appears to have been cut for television as well. It was work to watch this one but i am glad it was saved and worth the effort for Monty Blue fans. This was never any 9star movie even when first released but is a b movie or 2nd feature which would be better if cleaned up. I got this movie commercially and not sure if there are better copies available , however, i am not able to provide any review here unless i submit at least ten lines of copy. The movie is about a crooked lawyer, which is not really addressed at first, who somehow or other is able to become a guardian for a cute young blonde girl who got picked up for some pickpocketing arrest , as a minor and orphan. The crooked lawyer(Monte Blue) is not married and had some reputation issues at the time of the court hearing. If you can swallow this, the rest of the movie should flow along. next scent is the girl coming back from finishing school 6yrs later. There are large unexplained jumps in the story, as it was probably released, Other jumps may be cut, not sure. As i mentioned, it may be worth the time, particularly if a good copy exists.
