फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
"Girls on Probation" is a B-movie whose biggest claim to fame are a couple very early performances by supporting actors Ronald Reagan and Susan Hayward. Otherwise, it's full of plot holes and often irritating to watch....especially as the film progresses.
Connie (Jane Bryan) is a working lady who doesn't know that she's got a friend who is a bad egg. Hilda is very larcenous...and ends up getting Connie into trouble twice. First, when they go out dancing, Hilda lends Connie a dress...a dress that turns out to be stolen. Naturally, Hilda lies about it and Connie is left holding the bag. Second, Connie moves to another town following this and, surprise, suprise, she finds Hilda in her car....and demands Hilda tell the truth. But Hilda is in the middle of a robbery...and she's waiting in the getaway car....and soon Connie is forced at gunpoint to get in the getaway car! Soon they are chased by cops and Hilda begins shooting at them. Connie strips the gun away from her and forces the accomplice to pull over and the police arrest them.
The cops believe Connie was part of the robbery and Hilda insists she was as well...though WHY and why Connie is so vicious makes little sense. And, it makes no sense that the women are tried TOGETHER (which is odd since Connie is testifying against Hilda) and they are locked up in jail together!
Can the probation department straighten all this out and get to the truth of the matter? Or, is Connie destined to be her girl-toy in the big house?
The plot to this film strains credibility well past the breaking point. So often, Connie behaves stupidly and Hilda's strange actions just don't make much sense either. It's especially confusing and stupid when Hilda re-appears much later...trying to blackmail Connie! So, despite being made by Warner Brothers, it's a B-movie with a script with more holes than a pound of Swiss cheese!! Watchable but pretty dumb.

An interesting example of the fast-paced low-budget melodramas the Warner Bros. "B" picture unit run by producer Bryan Foy churned out by the dozens back in the thirties, this film features the pre-presidential Ronny Reagan as a do-good handsome DA who falls for and protects the very likable Jane Bryan. (In later years Bryan's millionaire husband was to become one of the future president's kitchen cabinet.) Reagan played many dreamboat roles like this one in his Warner Bros. contract days and rarely got a chance to show that he possessed real dramatic talent. At the beginning of the film, the 21 one year old Susan Hayward, at the start of her long career, has a small but very noticeable role. Not only was she remarkably beautiful but she could act! Fans of the great German comic actor, Sig Rumann, ("To Be or Not to Be") will enjoy his transformation from Jane's stern Teutonic father to the proud future father-in-law of Reagan.
Excellent film dealing with who you meet up. Jane Bryan innocently meets up with her friend, played in fine fashion, by Sheila Bromley. Bromley leads Bryan into 2 horrible escapades leading to jail for both these characters. Bromley, terrific here, is hard-boiled, vicious and will do anything to please her lover.
After her first run in with the law, when she is cost wearing a dress that Bromley stole, Bryan meets up with future D.A. Ronald Reagan, whose young girlfriend turns out to be a very young SUSAN HAYWARD.
Sig Ruman, as Bryan's father, sheds his comic image here in a totally believable performance as a stern father who will not believe his daughter is not up to no good.
This is an exciting film with a great Hollywood ending.

"Connie Heath" (Jane Bryan) is a nice young woman who works hard and just wants to to be treated fairly. Unfortunatley, she has a very strict father named "Roger Heath" (Sig Ruman) who disapproves of her friend "Hilda Engstrom" (Sheila Bromley) and forbids Connie to have anything to do with her. Now normally Connie would comply with whatever he father decrees however she chooses to disobey just once when Hilda invites her to a party one night and even offers to let her wear one of her dresses for the event. But what Hilda doesn't tell her is that she stole the dress from the tailor shop that she works at. And this is when her troubles begin. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent grade-B film which didn't have much action but still managed to keep my attention for the most part. One thing I should also mention is that, even though the movie poster has Susan Hayward plastered on the front of it, she actually only had a relatively minor role (as "Gloria Adams") compared to that of Ronald Reagan (as "Niel Dillon") and the aforementioned Jane Bryan and Sheila Bromley. Be that as it may, while this was a rather short film (about 63 minutes) I suppose it was worth the time spent watching it and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
With a slippery friend like Hilda, a dad like a steaming pot, plus a Cinderella dress that could send her to jail, what's poor sweet Connie to do. Well, we find out over a rather mild 60-minutes. It's a 1930's crime programmer from WB, with the usual WB elements-- a brassy blonde (Hilda), gunplay action, and a righteous hand of the law. Here, however, the sweetness of actress Bryan's Connie overshadows these gritty parts. The likable girl's caught up in a vortex of connivance and plain bad luck, that lands her in jail. At the same time, Connie's radiant close-ups, even at the worst moments, amount to a personal showcase that focuses away from the storyline. Anyway, my favorite part is the women's jail. There's real spark in those scenes, and note how similar the girls look, all slim, young, and attractive, like the result of a casting call.
Frankly, the storyline's a big stretch, particularly Hilda and Connie's enduring relationship, and that's despite Hilda's frequent betrayals. In fact, the relationship even overshadows Connie's clichéd romance with amiable attorney Neil (Reagan). (Catch Reagan's 1938 film credits-I'm surprised he ever slept.) All in all, the flick's pretty loosely put together, the elements too wobbly to achieve real impact. Nonetheless, probation comes off looking like a pretty humane idea, which I guess is the movie's main purpose.
