Midnight Mary - 1933 - 6/10
Sentencing begins and Mary is secluded in a chamber with the bailiff.
There, she flashbacks to the progression of her life, the route to the hangman.
A young child, orphaned early, drawn into a bad crowd.
Even the promise of a good soul redeeming her twists sadly.
Never much of a Loretta Young fan myself, she is all but irresistible in this.
Taboo filled Pre-Code, makes a good pairing with Baby Face (1933).
