If you like this movie and our channel, please subscribe: goo.gl/0qDmXe | Lady Gangster is a Film Noir movie directed by Robert Florey, credited as "Florian Roberts". It is based on the play "Gangstress", or "Women in Prison" by Dorothy Mackaye, who had spent ten months of a one-to-three-years sentence in San Quentin State Prison. "Lady Gangster" is a remake of the pre-Code film "Ladies They Talk About" (1933). Jackie Gleason plays a supporting role.
The movie is about Dorothy "Dot" Burton (Faye Emerson), who is a member of a gang of bank robbers. Using her femininity and a cute dog provided her by her male cohorts who dognapped him, she is able to enter a bank before opening time, leaving the door open and the bank guard holding her dog, thus enabling a successful robbery. When police interfere with the getaway she faints and proclaims her innocence, however the police have strong doubts as "her" dog won't come to her and has a different name on his collar than what she calls him. After she confesses to her part in the robbery, she is sent to women's prison where she makes enemies of fellow inmates seeking Dot's share of the money.

Jackie Gleason as a bank robber and William Hopper (who played Paul Drake on Perry Mason) both in the same "film noir" movie, great!

@archstanton_live 5 месяцев назад

At 22:10 Hopper, in nascent, classic Paul Drake style, hikes up his trouser leg, sits on the corner of the desk, delivers the rhetorical question: "Well, she's in the state prison now, so what are you going to do", then lights a cigarette.

I'm dubious about the "film noir" label on this one. I'd say it's a straight-up crime film. Sometimes a movie will get called noir just based on the fact it's b&w, made in the 40s and has guns going off in it.

@epgoldenage7049 3 года назад

I agree. Do you think Westerns can qualify as Noir?

@dontaylor7315 3 года назад

@@epgoldenage7049 Personally I think it's rare - maybe Bad Day at Black Rock but that's a western in a post-WWII timeframe so some people might say it's not even a western in the usual sense. But that's just me, some critics think westerns and even sci-fi can be noir. I don't see it that way but maybe I'm too picky.

Haven't seen Clementine even though I like John Ford, but I'll watch it sooner or later. I hesitate to watch movies about the Tombstone War because the ones I've seen turned the Earp family into the good guys when actually deciding between them and the other faction is like choosing between warring Mafia families. The Earps were fighting to get control of the gambling and prostitution rackets in Tombstone.

Remember, this is the 1940s, when beating confessions out of suspects was commonplace. That said, her story about the dog is so flimsy it's ridiculous. She claims it was given to her by her boyfriend. Next, if this were the real world, they'd ask for his name, but they never do. She claims it came from the pound, so in the real world, they'd check with the pound to find out if a dog matching this one's description was adopted recently. All her lies would be absurdly easy to expose, and that would make her look guilty as hell, on top of the fact that it was the guard letting her in before the bank opened that allowed the thieves to enter. Then they'd start checking into her past associations, having witnesses who were in the bank identify her accomplices, which would prove that she knew them prior to the robbery. Then they'd have her cold. However, she absolutely should have had access to a lawyer, if only so he could tell her to shut up before she digs her hole any deeper.

@againstallodds3300 2 года назад

@Cary Coller "True words were never spoken."😉👍After all, she made the hold-up possible in the first place and indirectly endangered the employees and the customers in danger. Then she stole the loot. Then she not only repeatedly lied to her good ol' friend from the past but practically to almost everybody. Vis-à-vis her confidante, she bragged about how she arranged that only seemingly accidental meeting of that (credulous beyond belief) sap of a man with her armed accomplices in the boarding house. Didn't she even lustfully anticipate how that would hit him like an atom bomb or a bus, respectively? This character was by no means a lady but rather an individual rotten to the core. The and-they-lived-happily-ever-after-ending conveyed the embarrassing message that crime can, in fact, pay.
