I am adding reviews for all films I've seen that so far lack one, this time I get a chance to review one I like, this was shown on satellite station information TV, the print was worn and only ran 60 minutes, review follows... This is an enjoyable slice of poverty row melodrama, into the swampland arrive an escaped convict, with a cop in pursuit, and ex resident honky-tonk dancer, perused by her sleazy manager, the convict falls for a local girl, and all is resolved by a link between the characters, but what makes this fun to watch is a good creation of the cut off world of the swampland, and the central performance of famous stripper Ann Corio, in her first film, she had another 4 exotic roles in the next 3 years, all worth a look; recommended as long as you like 40's poverty row films, Good!

I know this is a rare Poverty Row material and it deserves a little respect. I usually and will continue to defend those small little films, forgotten gems from the thirties and forties. I am so glad that from time to time it is possible to purchase them on line or thru a bootlegged - or not - marketplace, thanks to the public domain - or not - rights. But this one is so boring, so lousy, so.... Only because it was from Elmer Clifton, the director of CAPTAIN AMERICA serial, back in the forties, a decade about which I can watch some super heroes adventures, unlike the 2020's ones, which I can't bear at all. So, yes, I watched it till the end but it was rather hard to finally make it. I will always prefer from Clifton his final film THE JUDGE. Very interesting but lame feature.
