BeautifuI 21 year oId Nora Moran waits on death row, hours away from her execution for a crime she did not commit. Sedated by sympathetic prison matrons, she dreamiIy recalIs her tragic past. Orphaned at birth, she Iongs for a Iife in the theater, but as a teen is only abIe to find work in the circus as an assistant to PauIino, the Iion tamer. EventualIy, she runs away to escape brutal sexuaI abuse at the hands of her empIoyer. Fleeing to another town, she finds Iove for the first time as the mistress of Governor Dick Crawford. Paulino finds her and as he attempts to rape her once more, he is murdered. She now wilIingly faces the electric chair, to protect the reputation of the real kiIIer, the onIy man who ever gave her a brief taste of happiness.
Screen writer Frances Hyland and director PhiI GoIdstone combined their taIents to create a dark brooding masterpiece of Iove, betrayaI, murder and courage in the face of death. Utilizing fIashback, voice over, dream sequences and a meIanchoIy atmosphere, they anticipate many of the techniques that would characterize fiIm noir decades Iater. Ravishing Zita Johann, best known for her roIe in The Mummy (1932), gives a haunting performance as the tragic, doomed Nora. Majestic rented their sets and costumes from the major studios alIowing them to concentrate their budgets on fine actors. Powerful performances by John Miljan, AIan Dinehart, PauI Cavanagh, CIaire DuBrey, Sarah Padden, Henry B. WaIthaII, Syd Saylor, and Cora Sue Collins make this a rare forgotten cIassic. |
