Review of Tales of Manhattan (1942) by Margaret S — 10 Aug 2009

This is a really good movie and an under-rated one, certainly! The story is comprised of vignettes--really, an all-star cast--that center around a tail-coat and the adventures of the different men who owned/wore it and the people in their lives. From an adulterous gent who is shot to a composer whose career needs a boost to a Harvard graduate and bum to an African-American man who finds the coat along with a wonderful surprise.

This movie deserves acclaim.
