Someone to calm her down with hope — her lawyer was working on an appeal, there was a chance. The reporters lingered in the hallway, walking past Sabella's barred cell as if she were on display at Lincoln Park Zoo. Some of the more opportunistic reporters probably wouldn't have hesitated to tell Sabella the verdict if only they knew how to speak Barese. Hell, they would tell her in Italian if they were able. Instead, they looked at her face for signs. Did she know she was going to hang? No, not yet.
In Chicago, two sides emerged. One side viewed the verdict suspiciously. The scales of justice tipped by Sabella's lack of beauty. In the past — and perhaps in the future — a woman only needed fashionable attire, a powder puff, and an air of vulnerability to earn an acquittal. The other side embraced the verdict, and saw it as a form of equal rights.
If women wanted the vote, if they wanted to have jobs and compete with men, then they had to accept the same penalties men faced. Never mind that juries were devoid of women, and the law was written by men. Or the police, coroner, and coroner's physicians were all men. Attorney Helen Cirese read about the case in papers. She sensed something was wrong. The original trial attorney seemed terribly incompetent. He was confused at times and overwhelmed by the prosecution.
At one point, the defense attorney wanted to know why the corpse wasn't wearing underwear. Where did the underwear go—did the prosecution steal it? Cirese felt sympathetic toward the doomed woman.
Sabella cried when she heard the verdict and tried to commit suicide by ramming her head against the wall. She was alone and terrified. Cirese had too much time to read about the case in the papers. At twenty-three, she was a young and capable lawyer who was struggling to prove herself. Cirese had two strikes against her. She was female and she was beautiful. For traditionalists, it made no sense that Cirese was ignoring marriage opportunities in favor of a law career. No law firm would hire her.
Cirese shared an office with several other Italian American attorneys. They talked about the Nitti case. They saw possibilities in overturning the verdict. There were risks, however, to taking on such a case.
If all their efforts failed and Sabella swung, their names would be attached to the failure. It was a fear that prevented other attorneys in Chicago from offering their services. Five Italian American attorneys decided to team together and take the case. Did Cirese want in? Cirese thought about the case and the risks.

He had not wanted to direct that earlier movie, preferring only to do choreography, but was persuaded to do both.
That movie's success resulted in his getting the job to direct this movie. The smash revival of the musical was one of the very few instances of a Broadway revival that was far more successful than the original. It was still running as of May, Given the long, difficult history of bringing the show to the screen, many believe that if the Broadway musical had not been so successful in its revival, this movie would never have been made.
