Review of Black Legion (1937) by James-Masaki R — 16 Aug 2011
Bogart joining a white supremacist group in fear of losing his job to foreigners is a hard hitting film that doesn't qualify as 'gangster' but it is a social commentary film. It's good, but it falls under the pitfalls of the drama genre, and obviously in the end, about doing the right thing.
Bogart is great in this film, and it's pretty nice to actually see the dangers of intolerance and racism in such an early film. Maybe if more people watched it, things would have been more peaceful.
.. huh.
