John, then, patiently explains as to how Nora not only came to write those letters but also to be on the death row at the age of 21. Such a tale of woe begins with Nora being adopted at a young age and then cruelly orphaned again a few years later. But she does not give up, pursuing a career in dance in New York City which is fruitless until the circus comes calling. While novels had already employed stream of consciousness at this time, it is very unusual and innovative for a movie like "The Sin of Nora Moran" to use it. To its credit, it utilizes the technique to great effect in its suspenseful story that keeps the twists and turns going until the very end. That's not the only way this movie is ahead of its time as it also takes well-aimed shots at moral hypocrisies while also detailing the death penalty of the electric chair. See more Read all reviews
