Review of They Won't Forget (1937) by Matt H — 16 Mar 2010
88/100. Wow, what a powerful story and so very far ahead of it?s time. A very unusual film to come out of 1937. I could see it being made 10 years later, or in the 1960's perhaps. Impressive direction by Mervyn LeRoy, Claude Rains is just amazing and gives a very strong performance.
Excellent style, superb screenplay. The film creates such a vivid and intense atmosphere and it is so thought provoking. Notable also for the early appearances of Lana Turner and Elisha Cook Jr., both of whom are very memorable.
The film is very engrossing throughout and quite unforgettable. I very ignored classic that surprisingly doesn't have more of a following.
