Woman Trap Summary
Director: William Wellman
Genres: Crime
Rating:
Although Broadway star Hal_Skelly never quite made it in films, it wasn't for lack of trying. In Woman_Trap, Skelly is cast against type as hard-bitten police sergeant Dan Malone, whose mission in life is to rid his community of gangsters. The revelation that Dan's own brother Ray (Chester_Morris) is the secret head of all local criminal activities does not weaken Dan's resolve in the least. The barely relevant title is a reference to "heroine" Kitty Evans (Evelyn_Brent), the wife of a minor gang functionary. Screenwriter Joseph_L._Mankiewicz, presumably on a dare, makes a brief appearance as a crime reporter. Woman_Trap was an expansion of a one-act vaudeville sketch by Edwin_Burke. Hal Erickson, Rovi
