Review of American Madness (1932) by Eddie P — 18 Jan 2010
Nicely shot, but the quick fast dialog and the creepy guy with the eyebrows who betrays Huston, really ruined the film. Other than that it had potential for a cool intrigue film. The ending fell flat. I liked the cinematography, nice way to capture an almost noir style.
Not one of Capra's best, but definitely worth having in the collection to see the evolution of Capra's films. It was good representation of the America's obsession with money, a topic that is just as relevant today as it was then.
