A running theme with 30's movies is that most tend to have some sort of moral story i.e. the main character is redeemed at the end, the bad guy gets what's coming to him, or a visceral portrayal that crime doesn't pay. Tracy stars as a kind of down on his luck fellow and the film rapidly goes through scenes to indicate passages of time to tell his whole story. Most striking scene is a 10-minute depiction of Hell that is disconcerting to say the least and was incredibly bold for a mid-thirties film. 1 year 11 months ago
