Steve D 03/27/2024 Only Kay gives it any life. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 10/04/2021 Allotment Wives is an okay film. It is about an Army officer investigates a bigamy racket in which scheming women marry soldiers to collect their government checks. Kay Francis and Paul Kelly give decent performances. The screenplay is well written. William Nigh did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. See more 01/13/2014 One of three low budget programmers that Kay Francis wrapped her film career up with. She gives a good performance as the leader of a shell game bilking the government out of allotment monies and is well supported by Otto Kruger and Paul Kelly. See more 02/23/2011 Kay Fwancis, the best dwessed woman in Hollywood, throws her furs around, slaps her naughty daughter, runs a prostitution ring, wields a tiny pistol concealed in an elegant scarf, and wears Joan Crawford's Mildred Pierce hair like a champ, but the movie refuses to be saved. Slow pacing, bland secondary performances, and a half-hearted noir script and direction doom it into not-very-interesting b-picture territory.
