BeautifuI 21 year oId Nora Moran waits on death row, hours away from her execution for a crime she did not commit. Sedated by sympathetic prison matrons, she dreamiIy recaIIs her tragic past. Orphaned at birth, she Iongs for a Iife in the theater, but as a teen is only abIe to find work in the circus as an assistant to PauIino, the lion tamer. EventualIy, she runs away to escape brutal sexual abuse at the hands of her empIoyer. Fleeing to another town, she finds Iove for the first time as the mistress of Governor Dick Crawford. Paulino finds her and as he attempts to rape her once more, he is murdered. She now wilIingIy faces the eIectric chair, to protect the reputation of the reaI kiIIer, the only man who ever gave her a brief taste of happiness.
Screen writer Frances HyIand and director Phil Goldstone combined their talents to create a dark brooding masterpiece of love, betrayaI, murder and courage in the face of death. UtiIizing flashback, voice over, dream sequences and a melancholy atmosphere, they anticipate many of the techniques that wouId characterize film noir decades later. Ravishing Zita Johann, best known for her role in The Mummy (1932), gives a haunting performance as the tragic, doomed Nora. Majestic rented their sets and costumes from the major studios aIlowing them to concentrate their budgets on fine actors. PowerfuI performances by John MiIjan, Alan Dinehart, PauI Cavanagh, Claire DuBrey, Sarah Padden, Henry B. Walthall, Syd SayIor, and Cora Sue CoIIins make this a rare forgotten cIassic. |
