The film stars George Raft, featuring Edward Arnold and Claire Dodd, and directed by Frank Tuttle. The film was remade in 1942, with Alan Ladd in Raft's role, and Brian Donlevy and Veronica Lake in the roles previously played by Arnold and Dodd. PlotPaul Madvig (Edward Arnold) controls crime and politics in the city, helped by the brains and brawn of Ed Beaumont (George Raft). As he throws his support behind Janet (Claire Dodd) Henry's father in a political campaign, Paul also plans to marry her. Janet's brother Taylor (Ray Milland) is a gambler heavily in debt to O'Rory (Robert Gleckler), a gangster whose club Paul intends to put out of business. Taylor, who has been romancing Paul's younger sister Opal (Rosalind Keith), is found dead. The temperamental Paul falls under suspicion. Ed pretends to betray Paul while offering to work for O'Rory's organization. He is beaten by Jeff (Guinn Williams), a brutal thug who works for O'Rory, and has to flee for his life. Paul is going to face murder charges, but Janet knows who is really behind her brother's death. It's up to Ed to get her to reveal the truth. Cast
ProductionElissa Landi was once announced for the female lead.[1]ReceptionWriting for The Spectator, Graham Greene described the film as "unimaginatively gangster" and grouped it with the contemporary comedy No More Ladies to describe both as "second rate" and "transient".[2] Nevertheless, the film became one of Raft's biggest box office hits of the 1930s.[3] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Schallert|first1=Edwin|date=February 20, 1935|title=Binnie barnes scores as new personality; placed in "storm over the andes"|work=Los Angeles Times (1923-Current File)|url=https://search-proquest-com.ezproxy.sl.nsw.gov.au/docview/163305369?accountid=13902}} 2. ^{{cite journal |last= Greene|first= Graham|authorlink= Graham Greene|date= 5 July 1935|title= The Bride of Frankenstein/The Glass Key/No More Ladies/Abyssinia|url= |journal= The Spectator}} (reprinted in: {{cite book |editor1-last= John Russel|editor1-first= Taylor |date= 1980|title= The Pleasure Dome|url= |location= |publisher= |page= 6|isbn=0192812866}}) 3. ^{{cite book|first1=Everett|last1=Aaker|title=George Raft: The Films|publisher=McFarland & Company, Inc.|date=2013|location=Jefferson, NC|isbn=978-0786466467|page=60}} External links
