Midnight Mary is a 1933 American Pre-Code film directed by William A. Wellman that reveals in flashbacks the hard life of a woman on trial for murder.
Penniless and with a checkered past, Mary (Loretta Young) falls in with the crooked Leo (Ricardo Cortez), who uses the unwitting young woman as a pawn in his crimes. Lovestruck lawyer Tom (Franchot Tone) helps Mary go straight, but a jealous Leo comes after the attorney in a murderous rage. Mary, in order to save Tom, is forced to gun down Leo. She is then put on trial, but, afraid of mixing Tom up in the sordid case, she refuses to mention his involvement, which could seal her fate.
Doors open at 14.30, for a 15.00 start.
Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
