The Sin of Norah Moran

1933 pre-code melodrama and proto-noir film directed by Phil Goldstone and based on the short story "Burnt Offering" by W. Maxwell Goodhue. The film Zita Johann, John Miljan, Alan Dinehart and Paul Cavanagh.

Nora Moran, a young woman with a difficult and tragic past, is sentenced to die for a murder that she did not commit. She could easily reveal the truth and save her own life, but it would damage the lives, careers and reputations of those whom she loves. (Personally, I would have spilled the beans.)
