No Greater Sin

As another person has commented, "No Greater Sin" was not in the usual "exploitation" vein and, was made with the intention of being shown in churches and to PTA groups, but was sold to theatres as an exploitation film. It is not written nor played as the typical pot-boiling exploitation film, or not, at least, by those who can look at it relative to the period of American history in which it was made, and not as some kind of antique camp. Leon Ames, Claudia Drake and Adele Pearce are especially good, as is the always good and always-over-looked Luana Walters. Players such as oily, thin and dangerous Ralf Harolde; and oily, fat and really dangerous Frank Jacquet; and oily, fat and chamber-of-commerce dumb Henry Roquemore play the characters they mostly always played and, as usual, played them well. A little bit of sincere Bud McTaggart (billed here as George McTaggart), as the man who gets a dose, thinks he is cured, gets married and finds out he isn't, gets tiresome real quick like---like about his third line in his first scene, and he has many lines in many scenes.

And the film has a great sight gag when drunk Arthur Housman stumbles out of the rest room and flashes his "press" credential at the policeman. It takes one creative drunk to make a credential out of the handle off of a toilet bowl. It most likely had been done before but I missed it if so.
