The Sin Of Nora Moran - 1933 - 6/10

Pre-Code melodrama has the taboos in spades.
Adultery, rape, murder, coverups, death sentence.
At the heart of this is a young girl who spends her inheritance on a dance academy.
In New York, Broadway spurns her. Money dry, she joins the circus.
The story is told from several points of view, and Nora herself mixes memory with fantasy.
Sordid tale, yet the editing is extremely quick for its time and is absolutely fabulous!
Wipes, cuts, pans, dissolves, plenty of montages.
Restored print by UCLA is immaculate.
