About Girls of the Big House
A women's prison provides the setting for this drama that centers around a naive small-town woman framed by a man whom she met in a nightclub in the big city. She is not welcomed by the inmates and immediately the prisoners are divided.
Directed by George Archainbaud, Girls of the Big House leans on a strong ensemble — Lynne Roberts, Virginia Christine, Marion Martin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1945.
