Review by boblipton

Helen Foster is a nice young woman, and her mother trusts her when she wants to go to unsupervised parties. Alas! It's a hop, a skip and a jump from necking in a canoe to an affair with Grant Withers. When she's caught in a police raid on a strip poker game, her mother is outraged.... at the police. She determines to supervise her daughter better, but the girl discovers she's in trouble and goes to Withers, who refuses to marry her. He suggests a doctor. In return for that, she agrees to go to a party his boss is throwing, with tragic results.

I saw the Alpha Video version of the old Thunderbird print: 41 minutes instead of the listed 60, and what's left is a doleful litany of what the title promises; Miss Foster is reputed to have gone through a bottle of whiskey a day during the filming of the strip poker scene. What remains is clearly antecedent to both pre code movies, with its litany of lascivious behavior, but also the cheap exploitation films of the middle of the 1930s. It's an inartistic, unadorned story of what happens to bad girls, and any commercial success it had was due to its harshly moralistic story.... and the strip poker scene.
