    • Trivia
      Film has some rather blatant and oddball plugs for Warner Brothers stars. In several scenes photos of Joe E. Brown (whom Lillian Roth sings to) and Dick Powell are seen in the women's cells.
    • Goofs
      When Linda meets Nan, they stroll down a path through the prison yard. It's clear that the background of the path is projection footage as there is gusty wind violently whipping a tree and shrubbery around, yet their hair doesn't move.
    • Quotes

      [Nan calculatingly exposes her legs]

      District Attorney: You're wasting that panorama on me, Nan. Save it for Dave Slade.

    Early pre-code drama from Barbara Stanwyck

    In the beginning of her career, Barbara Stanwyck was in many films that are now available from MGM/UA Home Video as Forbidden Hollywood, Pre-Code dramas. This move is a foolish, little drama of lady bank-robber Stanwyck sent to a woman's penitentiary. The cast is great, but the story is too far-fetched.
