Interesting B movie in New Orleans
2 September 2021
Lady from Louisiana was directed by Bernard Vorhaus who shot some nice B movies like Amazing Mr X, Bury me dead, and of course the fantastic thriller "the Last journey".

In Lady from Louisiana, we have the classic opposition of law against corruption, with a love story between the prosecutor (John Wayne) and the owner of vice establishments financed by her lottery (Ona Munsen) who ignores the rackets and killings Of Ray Middleton. Really classic story, but set in New Orleans and wonderfully shot by Vorhaus and cinematographer Jack Marta, the movie has some fine visual moments at night with travellings and strong editing, the best part being the hurricane with not enough budget for being spectacular. Forget the lousy comedy scenes.

Bernard Vorhaus wrote an interesting autobiography, Saved from oblivion.
