Review of Thunder in the City (1937) by Kevin M. W — 07 Aug 2018
In this decidedly Brit production Eddie G. plays an American salesman of the high-pressure variety trying to slick his way into high jacking the rights of an emerging new metal concern. A very young Ralph Richardson is his Brit counterpart, suave, debonair, and somewhat contemptuous of this Yank hooligan.
Who will triumph between the two? AND there's a woman between them as well. There's an unspoken political undercurrent here that"s so distasteful I could hardly stomach finishing this, no matter the talent involved.
In the final analysis, the age of this film made some forgiveness applicable, but just barely.
