Anecdotes
This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Re-titled 'Big House for Girls,' as late as 1952 it was still being shown theatrically as an semi-exploitation re-release, particularly in the Los Angeles area, so television sponsors were not forthcoming. Its earliest documented telecast took place in Salt Lake City Thursday 8 December 1949 on KDYL (Channel 4) and there's no record of its being aired again until 8 AM Monday morning 13 October 1952 in Detroit on WXYZ (Channel 7).

O'Sullivan and Compson carry the film

O'Sullivan's character evolves from an irresponsible partying heiress to a reformed and socially responsible landlord in this short film. She does this with the help of street smart tenement girl Compson and her social activist guy-friend Warburton.

Some of the plot is developed by the obvious fact that both O'Sullivan and Compson are interested in Warburton for more than his social activism.

We see both ladies survive 30 day sentences, which appear to be the standard court punishments from the stern judge. However, Warburton and Compson don't know that O'Sullivan is really the absent landlord that is neglecting the welfare and safety of the tenants. How will they react when they find out their new friend is actually the cause of all their despair?

O'Sullivan overplays her wild side early on but Compson is masterful at subtle facial expression throughout. Warburton is just......there.

The film has a good depression-era feel. Not a great film, but not that bad either.
