    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Loosely based on the case of Edith Maxwell (1914-1979), a 21 year-old schoolteacher in Pound, Virginia. She was convicted of murdering her father in 1935 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. She was pardoned by Governor James H. Price (D) in 1941 and moved to Indiana under a new name.
    • Goofs
      It is never explained why Paul, presumably a lawyer from New York City, was brought in to prosecute the trial of Harkins at the beginning of the film.
