Featured review

Look for Jimmy Stewart in this, his first film

A very good film. It is typical of the 1930's "news reporter" films that were so prevalent back then, and this one holds up very well. Spencer Tracy gives another great performance as the reporter and the rest of the cast help him out with outstanding performances all around. It was something to see Lionel Atwill without a moustache!! Never saw that before!! LOL And it was great to see my favorite character actor, Charles Trowbridge in it also, although he is the prosecuting attorney in the film and not the investor, as it says in his bio on the IMDB. Great little film with a twist ending!! Be sure and catch it when it is on television. You won't be disappointed, I wasn't.

Trivia
La double vengeance (1935) was 35-year-old actor Spencer Tracy's first film in what would be a 21-year career with MGM. Tracy's first MGM film was to be La loi du plus fort (1935), opposite Jean Harlow. But, when that picture was temporarily postponed, the studio put Tracy to work immediately on The Murder Man, a modest programmer shot in three weeks. Tracy plays an investigative reporter who specializes in murder cases.

Mary Shannon: Yeah. I know you're dappy alright, but not about me. Where were you last night?
