street corner (1953)

aka Both Sides of the Law.
"Oh dear, not another!"
Three stories that revolve around the work of policewomen. The first has a young newly wed (Peggy Cummins) with child, who takes up with a petty thug. The second tells of a young woman who deserts the army to marry, and is subsequently caught when she rescues a child from drowning. The third story features a mistreated baby, who is reunited with its mother.
An unassuming film that develops character rather than drama, from a an almost wholly female crew and perspective.
