I never thought I will resent movie because of the performance of the main actor but Paul Muni certainly made sure I do .
Overacting , Terrible accent , body language of Frankenstein and as much subtlety as elephant in the glass showroom that is Paul Muni in short for you .
Imagine Peter Lorre in this role and you would get movie with 9 score .
I am surprised Muni get to act in another movie after this fiasco .
Funny thing is that everyone around Muni plays their part perfectly . Union insider, his girlfriend, his best friend even Police officer.
To think that Michel Curtiz directed this makes me question if he was sober most of the time shooting it.
