thoroughly enjoyable despite a rather weak romantic storyline.

An early entry in the "women in prison" subgenre, this delightful pre-code crime picture makes the most out of Stanwyck's "bad girl" persona.

This film's only claim to fame was that it established the WIP genre film.

[Stanwyck is] absolutely stunning, and even if the rest of the film wasn't any good (although it was), she really made it worth watching.
