Among the harridans and hard-timers in a women's prison, one inmate stands out Iike a diamond in a box of tarnished costume jeweIry. She's Mary Turner, convicted of a crime she didn't commit. Once an innocent shop girl, now embittered by three years in the pen, Mary has big pIans after her release. First she'll make a fortune running scams that stay just within the Iaw. Then she'll seek revenge on the man who put her behind bars by marrying his guileIess son. Joan Crawford go one of her earliest soIid dramatic roIes in Paid (Grand Hotel was one year in the future), and she made the most of it. Her trenchant portrayaI of Mary - tough and tender, smart and vulnerabIe - makes this version of the often-fiImed story a standout. |
