THE LADY IN RED is a fun and frenetic American crime film that explores the career of gangster John Dillinger through the eyes of his moll, the titular character as played by Pamela Sue Martin. This is an unashamed B-movie which makes up in action and violent incident what it lacks in budget and originality. A tapestry of ne'er-do-well characters is explored with an emphasis on wrongdoing and sudden bursts of violence which keep the viewer on their toes. Sex and nudity are mixed in with the violence to give this film an exploitation feel, while there are great, if minor roles for familiar faces like Dick Miller and Christopher Lloyd. Hardly a classic, but certainly entertaining.
