Parole, Inc.

Parole, Inc. is a 1948 American Film Noir film directed by Alfred Zeisler and featuring Michael OShea, Turhan Bey, Evelyn Ankers and Virginia Lee.

After a number of paroles granted to dangerous career criminals, the California Governor and State Attorney General suspected corruption in the state parole board. They called upon Hendricks to investigate and expose those involved. Hendricks decided to go undercover as an exconvict wanting to buy a parole for a criminal partner currently in jail. He then proceeded to infiltrate the social circle of another recent parolee of dubious character, Harry Palmer, and ask him how to purchase a parole. However, the people operating the parole purchase ring were quite secretive and ready to take extreme measures to prevent their exposure.Film critic Dennis Schwartz panned the film, writing, Alfred Zeisler Fear directs this uninteresting undercover police drama ... The story for this lowbudget Bfilm from Eagle Lion studios is just about as farfetched and ludicrous as the acting. It also lacked suspense, any surprises and the production values were shoddy. The only good thing is that it moves along at a fast clip and is over in a flash. ........
