Love Is A Racket (1932)

A beautiful girl convinces a reporter to cover up her involvement in a murder.

Dir: William A. Wellman Cast:  Douglas Fairbanks Jr. , Ann Dvorak , Frances Dee .
71 min, TV-G
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: William A. Wellman. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Ann Dvorak, Frances Dee, Lee Tracy, Lyle Talbot, Andre Luguet, Warren Hymer. Attractive cast in curiously unappealing story of a Broadway columnist and his private intrigues. Tracy, who portrayed Winchell types so often, here plays the columnist's legman.

Each Dawn I Die (1939)

A crusading reporter becomes a hardened convict when he's framed.

Dir: William Keighley Cast:  James Cagney , George Raft , Jane Bryan .
92 min, TV-PG , CC
CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: William Keighley. James Cagney, George Raft, George Bancroft, Jane Bryan, Maxie Rosenbloom, Stanley Ridges, Louis Jean Heydt, Abner Biberman, John Wray, Victor Jory, Thurston Hall. Reporter Cagney is framed, sent to prison, where he meets tough-guy Raft. Good performances all around--Cagney hits a white-hot peak as the embittered, stir-crazy fall guy--but last half of film becomes outrageously improbable. Music score by Max Steiner.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Raoul Walsh. Edward G. Robinson, Marlene Dietrich, George Raft, Alan Hale, Walter Catlett, Frank McHugh, Eve Arden. Lively, typical Warner Bros. film, with nightclub "hostess'' Dietrich coming between high-voltage power line workers Robinson and Raft. Scene in a diner is worth the price of admission.

CLOSE LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

D: Ted Tetzlaff. George Raft, Pat O'Brien, Ella Raines, Jim Backus, Roland Winters. Heavy-handed crime drama-romance lacks only logic, understandable character motivation, pace, and excitement. L.A. bail bondsman Raft carries a torch for the wife (Raines) of one of his clients; murder ensues.
