The Woman Condemned (1934) is a suspense-filled crime drama starring Claudia Dell as Barbara Hammond, a radio singer unexpectedly entangled in a murder investigation. When famed journalist Jerry Beall goes missing, Barbara becomes the prime suspect after being seen with him shortly before his disappearance. As sensational headlines spread, she must prove her innocence while uncovering the real killer and the motives behind the frame-up. With shadowy characters, courtroom drama, and a dramatic twist ending, the film explores themes of public perception, truth, and redemption. Directed by Dorothy Davenport (credited as Mrs. Wallace Reid), this early independent mystery is a classic example of pre-Code tension and intrigue.
