3.0 out of 5 stars "Back Door To Heaven" DVD, March 10, 2009

This review is from: Back Door to Heaven (DVD)

This unique work was the last film shot (in 1939) at the Astoria studios on the east coast. The director, William K. Howard, had a very balanced and philosophical point of view in this "making of a criminal" film and the lead's possible redemption. The dialogue alternates between generic old-fashioned and very modern. Print quality is only average but this is the only way to see it outside of a screening and it is well worth investigating. I am now curious to see another of Howard's efforts "Mary Burns-Fugitive".
