    couple gets caught up in mob shenanigans

    Chet morris, anne shirley. A sixty one minute shortie from RKO, based on the play by john hymer and samuel shipman. When engaged couple gene and annabelle cross paths with the mob, they get caught up in the underworld drama. And may have to pay the price. Will the mob boss do the right thing? Watch for a song, sung in the nightclub by lee patrick. She's not really known by name, but she sure popped up in some big films.. mildred pierce, vertigo, maltese falcon, mame! Wow, respect. It's simple, but good. No big twists and turns in the film version. Probably made for a suspense-full play, and might have been more fun before the film code white-washed the heck out of films and plays. Directed by lew landers. Chester morris had been in original the play also!

    too dumb to live

    Tommy and his girl get robbed in the park by Rocky and Bill. It's all their money. Warren Rogers is the new appointed D. A. and he promises to clean up the city. Respectable citizen Gene Fillmore (Chester Morris) claims to be too scared to take on the mob, but he is secretly the boss of a gang. Tommy and his girl barge in on the gang to try to take back their money. Gene uses the gullible couple in his jewelry store heist. There are complications.

    This is a dumb gangster flick from RKO. I don't see how the couple would actually see themselves stealing back the money in that way. The story would be better if they go to a cop who turns out to be corrupt. It's very annoying the way the couple plays dumb. They are too dumb to live.

    What A Jackpot

    Law Of The Underworld contains some nice performances by Chester Morris, Lee Patrick, and Eduardo Ciannelli and sad that they are wasted in a muddle of a film. Quite frankly this thing is unbelievable.

    Richard Bond and Anne Shirley are a pair of engaged folks who apparently have no street smarts and flash a roll around some gangsters. One of them Eduardo Ciannelli is a particularly murderous individual who hasn't been getting his financial due from the big boss Chester Morris. Still this big time heist guy robbing these kids for walking around money is really dumb.

    But that's nothing to how dumb Shirley and Bond are who decide to stick up the stick up men and get their $136.00 nest egg back. Morris is in the room now and he overpowers them. But he decides he can use these two as a kind of shill for his next job which is jewelry store robbery.

    It all of course both goes wrong and the film keeps going downhill from there. Lee Patrick is a nightclub singer and a really bad dame who's been two timing Morris with Ciannelli. Walter Abel repeats the role he had in Warner Brothers Racketbusters as a Thomas E. Dewey type special prosecutor.

    The story is pretty unbelievable, why didn't those two young people just go to the cops and make a police report of the robbery? I guarantee you if you see Law Of The Underworld you won't figure it out either.

    This wasn't a great film when it was first made in 1930...

    ... as "The Pay-Off" starring Lowell Sherman in which his usual insouciant persona was tempered by the dark purposes of crime and murder.

    Two young people - Tommy and Annabelle - are planning to marry soon. So of course they flash their wad of cash - 136 dollars - to the point that a couple of hoods rob them at gunpoint. The hoods don't even bother to hide their faces, so Tommy recognizes one of the hoods and figures out where their hideout is. Their solution? Not to call the police, but to hold up the holdup men and their entire gang without hiding their faces. The gang leader, dapper Gene Fillmore (Chester Morris), captures the young couple before they can get away with the money. He then tells them that he can either call the police and get them arrested for armed robbery or they can agree to do some favor for him in the near future. The problem is that "favor" involves being a distraction during a jewelry store robbery in which a store salesman is killed. Now the two kids are technically as guilty of murder as the robbers themselves. Complications ensue.

    Precode and even early sound films were often remade once sound technology got more advanced in the mid to late 30s, but they usually took advantage of those advancements to make a more sophisticated plot with a less claustrophobic and static setting. This film does neither of these things. And the film just shrieks "low budget". This is illustrated when the young couple is mixing it up on the dance floor in Fillmore's nightspot. They are shot from slightly below the waist up so you can't see that they cannot dance. The worst thing that this retread does is make the young couple as dense as the original couple was in the 1930 version. And dense does not automatically translate into likeable.

    Young couple aside, the casting of the rest of the film was well done. Chester Morris was always a good choice when casting a gray yet sophisticated character. Lee Patrick is great as the sassy vengeful gun moll as opposed to the rather bland Helene Millard in the same role in the original. Then there is Eduardo Ciannelli as the hissing malevolent Rocky who wants to depose Fillmore as gang leader. Finally Walter Abel is a big improvement as the crusading prosecutor.

    I'd recommend this one only for the very cinematically curious.

    Don't get your hopes up!!

    Again and again during the course of this film you might think that the movie might in fact turn out to be a reasonably good little film. However, due to really awful writing that occasionally creeps onto the screen, the overall effort is very, very poor, so don't get your hopes up with this little film.

    The movie starts by showing a young couple being robbed in Central Park. It isn't surprising this happens--after all, they did a lousy job of concealing their wad of cash meant for their honeymoon. And, oddly, when a cop comes upon the robbery, the couple say nothing and don't ask for help--allowing the two crooks to continue robbing them and get away!! Even dumber is later, when the two burst into a room full of hoodlums and demand their money back at gunpoint!!! Believe it or not, this very, very naive couple only behave more stupidly throughout the course of the film.

    While these two dummies seem too idiotic to believe, the rest of the actors in leading roles are pretty good---at least at first. Eduardo Cianelli is excellent as a hot-headed hood and Chester Morris is generally good as the leader of a gang. However, as the film concludes, Morris is so stupid that you wonder if hanging around this couple perhaps wore off on him--such as a stupid virus!! While parts of the film work, the bad parts are what I was left remembering. Even though I am a huge fan of classic Hollywood films, this is one I can't recommend and can never see myself seeing again. Avoid it--you'll be doing yourself a favor.

    By the way, if you look carefully, you'll see that a member of the gang is a very young Jack Carson before he was a star.
