Featured review
mobsta film
Stars richard dix, margaret callahan. Erik rhodes is gangster benny gray, who is found innocent when he is defended in court by fenwick. But when fenwick's own brother is knocked off by criminals, he rethinks who he will defend in the future. He decides to go track down his brother's killer, and bumps into virginia; she just happens to be the sister of the guy who knocked off fenwick's brother. He doesn't know that yet. But it's all going to hit the fan when the gangsters figure out who he is! It's not bad.... kind of a low budget bit, but still fun to watch. Rhodes frequently played the smarmy lover in the fred astaire, ginger roger films. It's hard to take him too seriously as a rough, tough mob guy. Thank goodness they don't go overboard with the "yeah, see" stuff that became the trademark of so many gangsters (at least in the movies) in the 1930s. Directed by lou king, story by erle gardner, who also wrote perry mason! Gardner was an actual attorney, and had a cold case club, which helped get innocent people out of jail. Richard dix died young at 56.
