review
Say this for Poverty Row perennial Monogram Pictures: if they couldn't afford much in the way of niceties such as good scripts, adequate sets, and clear photography, the powers-at-be certainly knew how to get the most out whomever they managed to lure away from the big studios. In the case of Federal Bullets, they got Zeffie Tillbury, as mean a little old lady as they come. Tillbury is all over the place playing a rather grandmotherly gangster boss, all lace and white hair and malice. Unfortunately, Karl Brown's direction is unusually sluggish and the whole thing seems to have been thrown together in haste.
