LADY IN THE DEATH HOUSE (1944, PRC) Lionel Atwill, Jean Parker, Douglas Fowley, Marcia May Jones, Robert Middlemass. This is a PRC one-week wonder with Parker on death row for murdering the man who blackmailed her family. She claims the whole thing was a set-up. In a strange twist of fate, her fiancé, (who’s a doctor who is conducting experiments on reviving the dead!) also happens to be the executioner at the prision. Atwill is the criminologist who investigates her case and hopes to clear her before her execution. Can he crack the case in time??? Much of the film is told in flashback by Atwill to his criminologist pals. An enjoyable piece of PRC film noir. From 16mm.
