Tight Spot - 1955 - 6/10

Middle-aged jailbird Sherry (a wise-cracking Ginger Rogers) is given a chaperoned furlough from the slammer.
The pitch? How’d she like to testify against an old associate?
Oh yeah, others who had tried, had been whacked, despite police protection.
Edward G. Robinson, Brian Keith, even Lorne Greene as a ferocious crime boss, everyone seems to coast.
Perhaps the script is to blame.
Proceedings feel contrived, and the ending(s) had me going from “really?” to “please!”.
