Poorly Patched Plot

MIDDLE VILLAGE, NY US -- March, 27, 2011
Up until about the midpoint of this film, it's not bad. Then, once the crusading reporter who framed himself, is hours from the scaffold, it looks very much like the writer didn't know how to end his story. As a result all kinds of coincidential conversations and events take place. The star - Chick Chandler - isn't bad in his part but I can't help wonder how someone like Wallace Ford might have saved the story a bit.
