B movie gets an A

Bad girl Cummins marries good guy Dall and convinces him that crime pays. Cummins oozes sex appeal as the girl from the wrong side of town who wants the good life and wants it fast. Dall is perfectly cast as the basically decent fellow who can't say no to Cummins. This precursor to Bonnie and Clyde is stylishly directed by notable B movie master Lewis. There is the famous bank robbery scene that is shot in one continuous take from the back seat of the getaway car. The finale in the swamp is beautifully filmed. Lewis's camera work is astonishing, helped by terrific cinematography. One of the prime examples of film noir.
