A nice little cheap noir, but the one distracting thing for me was the age difference between Preston Foster and Belita.
Her character was 16 when she was sent to jail, yet she was supposed to have a torrid affair with mid 40ish "boyfriend" Preston Foster before her arrest.
I don't know, just a little weird since Foster was about 47-48 when he made the film.
Maybe it's just me.

If you took a blender and added a little bit Steve Buscemi, Arnold Stang and Nicolas Cage from "Vampire's Kiss," you'd get the whiny, bug-eyed bad acting from John Chandler in his first and only lead role.
Everyone else in the cast, including Savalas and Orbach were fine, but Chandler's performance was absurd, comical, and sort've fun to watch in a guilty pleasured way.
Not a bad Ed Wood/Corman-like film to watch and make fun of, so a few stars for the laughs.

Just watched this marvelous documentary about actress and activistt Marsha Hunt.
If you enjoy Hollywood history, coupled with an unbridled display of activism and just plain unadulterated ballsy-ness, you'll fall in love with the ageless Ms. Hunt.
With a memory better than most people I know, the spry 101 year old (who turns 102 in a few months) reminisces about her life, entertainment career and activism. She talks fondly of her parents, going to Hollywood and becoming a leading lady in her first film, taking on the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC, a real "witch hunt"), being blacklisted (but refusing to back down), and opening housing for the homeless.
Just about everything in this Roger C. Memos' production rings true today and sometimes it was hard not to bite my lip with the realization that we're still going through most of this.
But in the end, there's the beautiful Marsha, Marsha, Marsha...who continues to fight for meaningful and righteous causes.
Long live this tough yet soulful lady.
