Reviews

This is really only of interest as a cinema curio - an early talkie with Warren Hymer ("Dan") and a slightly irritating "Saint Louis" (Spencer Tracy) escaping from prison to help out their pal "Steve" (Humphrey Bogart) from a little domestic mischief whilst he tries to keep his gal "Judy" (Claire Luce) - all under the direction of John Ford. None had made their mark on Hollywood by this stage, and the film's production and storyline are all just a bit too basic and over-stretched to hold the interest for a whopping great 90 minutes. It has moments of humour, and there is a brief appearance from Ward Bond too, but the film is pretty static and stage bound with too many monologues delivered in quite a wooden fashion. It's fair to say that everyone was still learning their craft here, and knowing what we know now makes it worth a watch - but be prepared to be a bit bored, I was.
