HOT-TOPIC MORALITY TALE TOLD BARE & BOLD...ALOOF WOMANIZER PAYS THE PRICE...BUT SO DOES 1 OF HIS VICTIMS

1 of the Movie-Magnets that Attract "Buffs" to Film-Noir is its Bolder Attempts to Bring-to-the-Game of Movie-Messaging are the More-Risky Subjects that the Main-Stream is Hesitant, Reluctant, and Stay Far-Away of Anything that is Not-Ticket-Friendly.But Another Studio's Poison is Another's Food-for-Thought.This Suspenseful "Soap" Plotted and Not-Shy about Things Critcal to the Murder-Trial of a War-Time-Woman in France Wooed by a "Playboy" American Flyer into an Illegal Marriage and a Romance Filled with Lies of the Worst Kind.It Seems that this Handsome Cad is Not Beyond Anything it Takes to Complete a Conquest, Once Consummated, Moves On Routinely to a New Edition, Throwing "Yesterday's Papers" on the Recycling-Pile.On Trial for Murder in the 1st Degree is a Woman He Drove to Near-Madness Leading to a Spontaneous Physical Argument where He is Killed, Intentionally or Not is Anybody's Guess.Also, it's learned that He Impregnated Her During the "Affair", and His Subsequent Bigamy, and that Leads to Terminating the Pregnancy Included in the Story."Abortion" is Never, almost Never a Part of a Script and Wasn't Even Hinted.So, It was Film-Noir that Dared Make Movies a Part of that Post-War Cynicism and a More Sophisticated Citizenry that had a New Open-Mindedness about Controversial Topics of Everyday Life.After-All the Trauma of WWII had a Powerful Force, Reconsideration, that Caused a Break-Down of Conventional Wisdom and Unwritten and Written Laws and Codes of Behavior to at Least be Discussed, Debated, and Deliberately Drawn into the Light and Not Hidden in Back-Alleys and Back-Rooms, but Commented On by "The People".It's Another Over-Looked Film-Noir and the Fertile and Rich Filmography is Still Being Unearthed, Rediscovered, and Appreciated.A Treasure-Trove of Cultural Riches from..."The Most Popular Art-Form of the 20th Century"

Silent in court

No murder mystery here. Vera Ralston pulls the trigger, abruptly ending the life of former airman, John Carroll, together with his time as a playboy, charmer, schemer and serial liar. The mystery surrounds Ralston's identity, with her forged passport and stark refusal to say....anything!Her unbroken silence, leads to the inevitable guilty verdict and the death penalty, identified only as Jane Doe. The subsequent revelation that she is pregnant, theoretically leads only to a delay in proceedings, but a profound shift in her fortunes is about to occur. Carroll's widow, lawyer Ruth Hussey, presses for a retrial, offering her own services as council for the defence.Still following this? GREAT! If not, there are further unanticipated twists, turns and revelations when the case is re-opened, in a movie which raises a few controversial issues, deeply held convictions and a dark secret....or two.Vera Ralston's limited acting abilities are well documented. Fortunately, her role requires comparatively little animation, while Ruth Hussey shines as the resilient widow, determined to defend her husband's killer.Courtroom meanderings aside, 'Jane Doe' is a most unusual, if slightly sentimental picture, astutely incorporating elements of melodrama, soap, war and noir.
