Road House (1948)
7/10
Good Noir, with an unavoidable flaw.

Very entertaining indeed. The only flaw was that Pete could never had been convicted over what is just the word of the alleged victim. No money was found in his possession and Pete had character witnesses on his side. Pete's lawyer could have retrieved the marriage license Jefty requested, to show his motives for that false accusation, and his claim would have been dismissed.

Other reviewers have noticed Jefty's ex-parte with the judge (with no defense lawyer present --very irregular, and cause for mistrial) and the absurd fact that Pete was released under the control of the alleged victim (no parole officer).
