With the help of IMDb I can see my ratings of movies grouped by year as well as an average for the given year. So far 1931 is coming up the rear averaging 5.39 for the 28 movies I've seen from that year. "Quick Millions" isn't going to help that average any.
"Quick Millions" is another gangster movie from 1931. Add it to the list including "Public Enemy," "Little Caesar," and "Smart Money." Every gangster movie is about a rise from nothing to prominence and then an unceremonious end.
Daniel J. 'Bugs' Raymond (Spencer Tracy) was the featured hoodlum in this movie. He began as a lowly truck driver and with "a little bit of nerve" he found a way to use his trucking as a means of extortion. He then kept climbing the gangster ladder until he was able to shakedown millionaires.
The movie was too poorly edited to really enjoy. It jumped from scene to scene too abruptly and it would jump into what could be considered the middle of the next scene. Scenes need context provided by dialogue or imagery that gives the viewer the necessary information to know what's going on and why. Things were happening so fast that I didn't know what was happening, I just knew that Bugs was moving up in the world.
