Abandoned A.K.A. Abandoned Women, Not Wanted (1949)

An American crime mystery directed by Joseph M. Newman, starring Dennis O'Keefe and Jeff Chandler.
A woman arrives in a city, looking for her missing sister, who recently had a baby. She meets a detective who helps her in her search and they find a crime ring of baby merchants.
This was very much like many other films of the time. There was apparently a series of "semi-documentary" films made, which covered social issues in a dramatic manner. I know I watched the gay/transvestite one, but don't remember what it was called. Plug in late 1940s film elements here: plot, characters, audio, video. I could hear it, see it, follow the plot and knew who the characters were, so it gets a tolerable rating. I know that's stupid criteria, but I've seen stuff that missed more than 1 of those essential points. There was nothing really bad about it, but definitely nothing good. You mighht not want to watch this.
