Featured review
The criminal lifestyle
This 'Crime Does Not Pay' short subject from MGM examines the case of a woman
who got caught up in criminality because of who she married and because she
found herself enjoying the thrill.
Irene Hervey is our protagonist and she's looking like she's on the straight and narrow even marrying a good looking chap Robert Livingston. But when Livingston has her along on a robbery, she really likes the thrill.
As in all the MGM 'Crime Does Not Pay' shorts, they slip up as criminals do in real life too.
I'm agreeing with the other reviewer, a bit heavy handed but effective.
