This is a film about the old America,when the gang bands ruled big cities and escaped from justice.In this precious classic movie,we meet a lovely waitress,"Ellen Ward",who attracts always the male client with her friendly attitude and intrinsic beauty.
While engaged to a young lawyer,who works hard to get promotion and saves every penny, to provide her with a peaceful life, "Ellen" always seeks a way to be able to wear magnificent jewelry and expensive clothes and dance in great parties.Thus,she admits the invitation of a rich client who is somehow connected to the gang.
Because of her kid-like simplicity and beauty, she attracts the gang Leader "Charles Blake" at the first encounter and this is where her troubles start! This is an old movie and so,you can see a lot of worn out tricks,like showing the time pass by newspaper titles, in it.Nevertheless,this a film which is worth being seen.The character of "Ellen" is vivid and impressive and greatly played by "Phyllis Brooks"(I think she resembles a lot "Drew Barrymore").The story is linear and simple,but believable and once you have seen the movie,you will remember it forever!
