A blistering indictment of tabloid journalism and built around one of Edward G. Robinson's most compelling performances.

Edward G. Robinson means a lot to this entertainment.

84/100. Outstanding melodrama about the cold and heartless newspaper industry, and it is amazing how little things have changed with the press in eighty years. As always, Edward G. Robinson is terrific, Aline MacMahon stand out in a supporting role, as does H.B. Warner and Boris Karloff. It's a heart wrenching story, skillfully told with solid direction from Mervyn LeRoy. A gem of a film with vivid characterizations and a skillfully written screenplay.

A great performance by Robinson and a scathing hatchet job of sensationalistic media. When a newspaper decides to increase circulation by re-serialising a long dead passion-killer case; the acquited defendant finds her life being turned upside down again on the eve of her daughter's wedding. With film adaptations of stage plays, you rarely see any filmmaking qualities other than point and shoot. But here, there are quite a few tracking shots, including one following a suicide attempt using silhouettes and fades, that are impressive anyway. Doubly so for a 1931 shoot. A great lesson to be learned to anyone who allows for the manipulation of their morality by a media who merely seeks their dollar.
