Review of Railroaded!

Railroaded! (1947)
5/10
Beauty school bookie
1 October 2017
Jane Randolph (Clara) stages a robbery at her own beauty parlour. Her boyfriend gangster John Ireland (Duke) is in on it but things go wrong when his partner Keefe Brasselle (Kowalski) is shot and kills a policeman in the process. Ireland, Brasselle and Randolph all set up Ed Kelly (Steve) to take the blame and go to the electric chair for this crime that he did not commit and his sister Sheila Ryan (Rosie) sets out to prove his innocence.

This is a predictable film that contains some inexplicable actions that don't make sense. Why would Ireland get in touch with sister Sheila? No sense at all. I also briefly fell asleep for a part of this film and have to report that when I awoke the film panned out exactly as expected. There are no surprises with this one but John Ireland makes a good baddie.
