Good image quality. Thank you so much. Enjoyed it.
This is a real kool flick of its genre-crime film with light comedy. Conrad Nagel is one of my favorite early film stars. He was one of MGM's top stars during the 1920s, co-starring with Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. I believe he also hosted the very first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929.
At 8:25 to see people all dresses up to take a flight. Those were the days.
I will watch any Movie with Conrad Nagel in it.
Thanks for posting.
Human Man is a biological machine in the image of the Creator, endowed with Spirit (according to sacred Scripture). Marriage is the coupling fashion of mature male and female machines to produce offspring.
Thanks again, Filmschatten…how and where you keep finding these lost gems I don't know but am very grateful…great film quality, too. Keep up the good…no, wonderful…work.
Thank you for finding and posting! Mare
Yow! What a cast of nobodies!
Amiable film with lots of car action and a good amount on gun play.
When I see a Cop dressed up at a nightclub in a Tux – you know it must be Hollywood. These guys maybe make $20 a week. Yet they parade them as if they were millionaires. Typical Hollywood.
This idea Hollywood uses for "Comedy Relief" is understandable during time of war – but this is 1937. So I'm assuming it has to do with the Great Depression. The public was just beginning to get over soup lines and dust bowls of the Midwest. Otherwise, this Comedy Relief is enough to ruin a picture.
That Bobbi is a swell dish..VAA VAA VOOM!!
Nineteen thirty-seven. Cars, hair styles, clothes, shops, attitudes, life style. A leap in the past. The movies made real Time Travel!

Love all the art deco including how the clock does THE END at the end.
