It is based on the play \"Gangstress\", or \"Women in Prison\" by Dorothy Mackaye, who had spent ten months of a one-to-three-years sentence in San Quentin State Prison. \"Lady Gangster\" is a remake of the pre-Code film \"Ladies They Talk About\" (1933). Jackie Gleason plays a supporting role.\n\nThe movie is about Dorothy \"Dot\" Burton (Faye Emerson), who is a member of a gang of bank robbers. Using her femininity and a cute dog provided her by her male cohorts who dognapped him, she is able to enter a bank before opening time, leaving the door open and the bank guard holding her dog, thus enabling a successful robbery. When police interfere with the getaway she faints and proclaims her innocence, however the police have strong doubts as \"her\" dog won't come to her and has a different name on his collar than what she calls him. After she confesses to her part in the robbery, she is sent to women's prison where she makes enemies of fellow inmates seeking Dot's share of the money.\n\n---\n\nDirected by Robert Florey, produced by William Jacobs , screenplay by Anthony Coldeway, based on \"Women in Prison 1932 play\nby Dorothy Mackaye, starring Faye Emerson as Dorothy Drew Burton, Julie Bishop as Myrtle Reed, Frank Wilcox as Kenneth Phillips, Roland Drew as Carey Wells, Jackie Gleason as Wilson, Ruth Ford as Lucy Fenton, Virginia Brissac as Mrs. Stoner, Dorothy Vaughan as Matron Jenkins, Dorothy Adams as Deaf Annie, William Hopper as John, Vera Lewis as Ma Silsby, Herbert Rawlinson as Lewis Sinton, Charles C.

This restored and colorized edition revives a hard-hitting B-movie that blends the tough world of gangsters with the claustrophobic tension of a women’s prison drama. Originally released in stark black and white, this colorized version makes the suspense, characters, and 1940s atmosphere come alive for modern audiences in the USA, Europe, and worldwide.\n\nPlot Summary:\nDorothy “Dot” Burton (Faye Emerson) is a young woman who becomes entangled with a ruthless gang. Drawn into crime by her association with men who see her as both an asset and a liability, Dot soon finds herself on the wrong side of the law. When she takes part in a bank robbery, her luck runs out and she is arrested, sentenced, and sent to a women’s prison.\n\nBehind bars, Dot navigates the rivalries, betrayals, and hardships of prison life while wrestling with her own conscience. As she contemplates redemption, her former associates on the outside still expect her to help them pull off more crimes. Dot’s struggle becomes a battle between loyalty to her criminal past and the possibility of reclaiming her future. Her story crescendos in a dangerous climax that forces her to choose between self-destruction and a chance at redemption.\n\nCast and Crew:\n• Director: Robert Florey\n• Producer: Bryan Foy\n• Screenplay: Anthony Coldeway\n• Based on: Gangstress, or Women in Prison by Dorothy Mackaye\n• Cinematography: Arthur L. Todd\n• Editing: Thomas Pratt\nStarring:\n• Faye Emerson as Dorothy “Dot” Burton\n• Julie Bishop as Lucy Gilman\n• Roland Drew as Kenneth Phillips\n• Frank Wilcox as Assistant District Attorney\n• Jackie Gleason as Wilson (early film role)\n• Ruth Ford as Mrs. Thomas\n• Dorothy Vaughn as Matron\n• William Hopper as Dr. Philip Dexter\n\nFilm Significance:\nLady Gangster is notable for its blend of gangster melodrama and women’s prison film, genres that were especially popular during the 1930s and 1940s. It also served as an early showcase for Faye Emerson, who later became known as the “First Lady of Television” in the 1950s. The film is of particular interest to fans of Jackie Gleason, who appears here in a minor role years before achieving fame with The Honeymooners.\n\nThe movie reflects wartime Hollywood’s appetite for quick, engaging B-pictures that combined action, moral lessons, and gritty realism. Lady Gangster stands as a cultural artifact of its era, portraying the dangers of organized crime and the challenges faced by women who strayed from conventional paths. Its mixture of suspense, romance, and moral conflict makes it an enduring curiosity for fans of classic crime dramas.\n\nEnhanced Public Domain Explanation:\nThis film is in the public domain, which means it is completely free of copyright restrictions and can be legally shared, viewed, studied, and preserved without limitation.

This process respects the original film while providing a new layer of appreciation for today’s viewers.\n\nWhy Watch This Colorized Edition:\nThe original 1942 release was shot in black and white, like many of Warner Bros.’s crime dramas of the period.
