Review of Manhattan Melodrama (1934) by James H — 26 Jun 2005
The plot is very familiar, but keep in mind, in 1934 it was not an often used one, and it is rarely done as well as in Manhattan Melodrama. You can't beat the terrific cast - Myrna Loy, William Powell, Clark Gable, even Mickey Rooney in a small early role.
The usual top notch MGM production, excellent screenplay, great score. A wonderful film. Interesting trivia, this is the movie John Dillinger was watching on the night he was killed exiting the theater.
