Nice and Clever Damon Runyan Movie

This movie is a pleasure to watch. It is a romantic gangster comedy. It moves quickly, has several nice plot twists, and allows some involvement with the Richard Bartelmess - Ann Dvorak characters.

Bartelmess looks and acts a lot like Robert Armstrong (king Kong) here. After seeing him in several heroic films, it is a little strange seeing him playing a gangster. He's fine and there is a good chemistry with Ann Dvorak. Helen Chandler appears in a couple of flashback scenes with Bartelmess and nearly steals the movie.

Basically, it is an entertaining hour long film that holds up well after 86 years.
