Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst film released where Humphrey Bogart plays a hoodlum.
- GoofsThe PS 62 "School Messenger" paper shown in the 1921 montage zooms in to highlight the "School Topic" about Prof. Irving Finklestein rehearsing the orchestra "for its debut at COMMMENCEMENT." While this item is completely logical and sets up the next scene, the other "stories" in the paper are just random lines of text. Under "BANQUET PALANNED", the story starts, "Mrs. Armstrong ended her life in is said to be at a high pitch as the land avenue ..." and the first item under "School Topics" begins, "A small crowd, said to be made several minutes. She alternately body, self-appointed head of her and horror...". Finally, under "Varied Events on Social Program" the text states, "This year, however, officials of Monson, will drive an ancient stage coach through the house. She died instantly send heartiest greetings and wishers.." There are similar occurrences, though not as noticeable, in other years' newspaper montages.

Featured review
Lots of fun for fans of early 30s melodramas!
After viewing the video version of this movie again last night, I was surprised at how most of the movie stands up today. As with many "from the headlines" movies produced by Warner Brothers and First National in the early 1930s, the pace is rapid. I prefer the latter part of the movie to the earlier scenes, which provide a lengthy prologue to the main story. It is unfortunate that the lead actress, Ann Dvorak, is almost forgotten today, for she was a beautiful and talented actress, who more often than not was more capable than the material she was given. Hers is an unusual character, but an interesting and not too hysterical performance. It's also fun to watch future stars like Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart in supporting roles, as well as to savour supporting performances by Jack LaRue, Allen Jenkins and Lyle Talbot. The climax is quite remarkable, although the tacked on happy ending jars with the mood of the movie as a whole. Well worth watching on the late show, cable, or if you find a copy of the video.
