Lady Gangster

A tough-talking beauty gets mixed up in a bank robbery and lands in prison. Before she is jailed, she steals the loot from her partners-in-crime and hides it. While in jail, she is befriended by an influential newspaper man, Kenneth Phillips. The lady gangster attempts to earn her release by turning over the money, but a series of double-crossings by her former henchmen stand in the way. Faye Emerson stars in this Warner Brothers' noir classic, with a supporting cast that includes a young Jackie Gleason as a mob strongman. Veteran director Robert Florey is billed under his pseudonym Florian Roberts.
