Why Must I Die?: Review

starstarstarstar
This interesting thriller finds Moore playing the daughter of Sherman, an over-the-hill safecracker. She's involved with Ames, a small-time gangster who, like her father, continually promises a big score. Moore goes along with the pair on a safecracking job as lookout, but the two prove to be incompetent. Moore goes back to singing in nightclubs and gets involved with Harvey, a club owner. Meanwhile, her father has taken up with Paget, a lady safecracker. Moore is forced to accompany her father and his enamorata on a job, and Harvey comes along and is shot by Paget. Moore is convicted of the crime and sentenced to the electric chair. As she is about to be electrocuted, Paget comes shrieking into the death chamber, wishing to make amends. Though the story is a formula plot, there is a wonderful intensity to the film, particularly in its final moments. The acting is fine throughout. leave a comment
