Convicted Woman

Nothing about this drama seems to hold with any reality, from the crime to the time.

Hollywood making jail time more sensible in 1940 than how the US does it today. Regardless of positive ideas, this isn't without suspense and decent dose of injustice, with Rochelle Hudson putting on a class performance as a woman continually getting screwed over. Frieda Inescort, June Lang and a early role for Glenn Ford also help make this a pleasurable programmer, reaching well above it's potential for such a overly optimistic prison reformer.
