One Mile from Heaven

One Mile from Heaven is a 1937 American drama film directed by Allan Dwan and written by Lou Breslow and John Patrick.

The film stars Claire Trevor, Sally Blane, Douglas Fowley, Fredi Washington, Joan Carroll and Ralf Harolde.

While investigating a bogus murder story in a black neighborhood, a reporter, Lucy "Tex" Warren (Claire Trevor) notices a little girl named Sunny who appears to be white.

Suspicious of the relationship between the two, Tex and other reporters investigate, only to turn up evidence (photos and a hospital record) that support Flora's claim.

Tex then encounters a prison convict who claims that Sunny is the child of a deceased criminal Cliff Lucas, whose wife, Barbara (Sally Blane), had attempted to leave with the baby and wound up in a car accident.
