Frisco Jenny: Review

starstarstarstar
Trite melodrama set in the Barbary Coast circa 1906-1933 features Chatterton as the orphaned daughter of a kindly saloonkeeper (her parents were killed in the San Francisco earthquake) who rises to become the madame of a popular bordello. Along the way she bears an illegitimate son whom she gives away to rich parents. As the years go by Chatterton becomes one of the driving forces in the San Francisco underworld, but to her dismay her son grows up to become a crusading district attorney committed to wiping out all crime. Chatterton's lieutenant Calhern decides the only way to stop this law-and-order binge is to eliminate the district attorney, but Chatterton kills him before he can carry out his assassination. Ironically, the district attorney sends Chatterton to the gallows for the murder, and she goes to her fate without ever revealing her identity to her son. Unbelievable storyline helped by good production and direction. leave a comment
