Review of Up the River (1930) by Timothy M — 30 Oct 2010
Terrible print that Fox have committed to DVD, but I'm guessing it's the only surviving one. There are lots of seconds-long segments that have been lost, so the end result is continuously unintentionally amusing.
This film is notable only for the fact that it's the debut for both Spencer Tracy and Humphrey Bogart - and it's very easy to see that they'll both be stars later on. They just have a quality that everyone else in the film lacks.
The story itself is unfocused and sloppy - I still have no idea whose story it was supposed to be.
