Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Sin of Nora Moran is a 1933 film directed by Phil Goldstone.The story is told through a fractured, layered narrative that is highly unusual for the era. As the story opens, Nora Moran (Zita Johann, who previously starred in The Mummy) is on death row, with her execution imminent. Meanwhile, a society wife named Edith confronts her brother, John Grant, about a stash of letters indicating that her husband Dick is having an affair. John reveals that Dick's mistress is in fact Nora Moran, the woman on death row.John turns out to know quite a bit about Dick's affair and Nora's life. He recounts to Edith the whole story of Nora's difficult childhood, her traumatic rape when she was working for a circus, her tender romance with Dick, and its tragic conclusion.This film is possibly best remembered for the advertising poster, drawn by Alberto Vargas of "Vargas Girl" fame, named the #2 film poster of all time by Premiere magazine.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare The Power and the Glory, a higher-budget film (it had Spencer Tracy and Colleen Moore, rather than this cast of nobodies) also released in 1933, also with a disjointed Anachronic Order narrative and multiple points of view. | |

Alcohol Hic: All four of the carnies who are interrogated after Paulino's murder are disheveled drunks, but one of the women is particularly gross, drunkenly burping throughout the interview. | |

Anachronic Order: The narrative skips wildly back and forth between the Framing Device, the flashbacks to Nora in prison, and the even earlier flashbacks relating Nora's life story. | |

All for Nothing: Nora tells Dick that she is willingly sacrificing herself, not just because she loves him, but because she doesn't want their romance to become tabloid fodder, and because he's an important man who is meant to do great things. So what does he do, right after the execution? He shoots himself in the head, that's what. | |
