A pretty amazing relic of it's time! Walter Huston plays a cop trying to get rid of the criminal element of the city (headed by Jean Hersbolt!) and finds it's not so easy, especially when his brother gets tied up in it as well (you would be too if Jean Harlow was seducing you).

Just FILLED with amazing camerawork, dialogue and lots of pre-code giddiness, this should be a must-see for all you film noir buffs. Also the ending is pretty much the most amazing thing ever. One of the best movies I've seen this year!!
