Movie Reviews

Three Movie Buffs - 8/10 by Scott NashHarlow plays the quintessential gangster's moll.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzWalter Huston and Jean Harlow make the screen sizzle.
User Review - 8/10 by John KA pretty amazing relic of it's time! Walter Huston plays a cop trying to get rid of the criminal element of the city (headed by Jean Hersbolt!) and finds it's not so easy, especially when his brother gets tied up in it as well (you would be too if Jean Harlow was seducing you). Just FILLED with amazing camerawork, dialogue and lots of pre-code giddiness, this should be a must-see for all you film noir buffs. Also the ending is pretty much the most amazing thing ever. One of the best movies I've seen this year!!
User Review - 6/10 by Daryl KGood crime drama, with Walter Huston as a hard-nosed police chief, and Wallace Ford as his less hard-nosed detective brother. When gangster's moll, Jean Harlow, leads Ford astray, it sets up a conflict between the cops and criminals trying to run the city. Harlow is a memorable standout, despite a relatively small part, and Huston gives steely determination to his role as an incorruptible figure of law-and-order.
User Review - 4/10 by Antonius BOverblown antique that would be forgotten except for fans of Huston were it not for the presence of Jean Harlow in the cast. In her last supporting role before Red Headed Woman moved her to the top of the MGM pecking order she is cheap, brassy and sexual in a way that would disappear once the Hays Code went into effect in a few years. As for the rest of the film, it has pieces of dialogue that are wildly inappropriate in both racial and feminist context but were standard at the time. Huston's performance is variable, mostly good but with some ham-fisted touches but he is subtlety itself compared to Tully Marshall as the defense attorney who is so florid during one of his speeches it's impossible to keep a straight face. The climax is another piece of over the top absurdity but if you're a Harlow fan the film is worth watching.
