      Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine Adequately played, of course, by Paul Muni, but this is not much of an assignment for him. Apr 21, 2020 Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine The picture is rather awkwardly directed, with long explanations taking the place of action over the initial stretches.

      Steve D Fine but rather thin. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Audience Member prewtty good but i prefer the remake with bogart "king of the underworld" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Paul Muni has never made a bad movie or given a poor performance. He didn?t crank out movie after movie like so many stars in that era, he carefully picked his roles. This is a terrific picture, Muni plays a doctor who has become a gangster?s physician, but not by choice. The gangster is played with gusto by Barton MacLane. A girl who is kidnapped by the gang (Ann Dvorak) is injured and brought to Muni. She and the doctor soon fall in love. But, the gangster wants her, because she could testify against him. Great cinematography but it?s Muni?s picture all the way. Helen Lowell provides fine support as ?Ma?. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Muni does quite well as a small-town doctor (and philosophy enthusiast) who has to deal with gangsters and Ann Dvorak.
