Steve D @RT35616104 Jun 9, 2023 Entertaining gangster flick with not enough Gable. See more Sep 23, 2016 Great gangster movie, being a friend means you get shot in the back. First big flick for Gable and before he had a moustache, and first pairing of Gable and Harlow. Wallace Beery is a big wise guy with no morals. Ralph Bellamy cast against type - this was his first movie. See more Jan 7, 2015 In the '30s, Warner Bros. specialized in gritty, violent urban crime dramas, and no studio did them better. This tough-as-nails gangster film is, surprisingly enough, from MGM, and compares favorably with the Warners product--in fact, it comes out ahead in several respects. The cast is terrific--with Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow, Ralph Bellamy and Clark Gable (before he was a star), to name a few... Polluting The Justice System--This movie is a thinly veiled attempt to portray the life of Al Capone. The violent rise and fall of the gangster, portrayed by Wallace Beery, the taking over of the government of an adjacent small town, the eventual tax problem that Beery's character has...these and other subplots are mirror images of Capone's Chicago... Bootlegging with Beery!! See more Dec 27, 2014 awesome pre-code gangsta saga See more Apr 17, 2014 A solid gangster flick, with up-and-coming stars Clark Gable and Jean Harlow lending support to Wallace Beery. See more Aug 14, 2011 Fast moving crime drama has a ripped from the headlines feeling and as usual from MGM a great cast. Jean Harlow, in her first year of stardom, is not quite at ease in front of the camera yet but exudes star quality. Clark Gable however, also in his first big year, is totally at home and gives a breezy assured performance. See more Read all reviews
