Gallant Lady (1942)

Dr. Rosemary Walsh is a month away from parole, having served four years in a Federal Prison for a mercy killing. When her cell mates overpower a guard and escape, Rosemary is forced, against her will, to join them. Abandoned in a rural backwoods, she plans to turn herself in to the authorities, when she meets Dr. Steve Carey. He falls in love with the beautiful but notorious fugitive, and pretends not to recognize her. Steve gives her sanctuary on his sprawling country farm and she aids him with his busy medical practice. Although Rosemary finds joy in this new life, she knows that the law is closing in.

Beautiful Rose Hobart appeared in over 40 films most notably Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931), East Of Borneo (1931) and The Farmer's Daughter (1947). Veteran character actor Sydney Blackmer's long career (over 120 films) included roles in Heidi (1937), The High And The Mighty (1954), High Society (1955) and Rosemary's Baby (1968) and earned him a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. William Beaudine, who began his career in the silent era assisting D.W. Griffith, would go on to churn out over 350 low budget movies, including several East Side Kids films, The Ape Man (1943), Ghosts on the Loose (1943) and Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla (1952).
