Add Synopsis
Storyline
A Chicago gang led by scar-cheeked Slade (Dame Judith Anderson) carries out an audacious brokerage robbery. Lieutenant Bill Mason (Dennis O'Keefe) takes the case, continuing his friendly-enemy relationship with crime reporter Ann Rogers (Frances E. Neal). One gang member is caught; eventually, others follow. But Mason hasn't a clue to Slade, principally because he's unaware she's a woman. The plot periodically pauses for comic and romantic interludes.

Judith Anderson is lots of fun as the gangster of the title. She's a bad woman, all right. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark: Anderson. (References and allusions to "Hamlet," in which she played the Melancholy Dane on stage, abound here.) She is beautifully shot in shows by Nick Musaraca. But alas! The movie is for the most part a routine romantic faux thriller. It's kind of a riff on the Torchy Blane series: A police detective investigates a case. A female reporter is after the same story. Which of them will get it? Will they get each other? These concerns (never mysterious in any incarnation) are the primary concerns.
Alas poor Judith! She did so well.
