My Take:

A guy who climbs his way up the ‘Press’ ladder and gets too big for his britches… pays the ultimate price.

Based off the real killing of press reporter Jack Lingle, the film depicts what happens when you get into business with the bad guys and think you're immune to death.

For the most part, this was a cool little film, but some actors didn’t translate from the silent era films to the talkies that well. Richard Barthelmess was one of those actors, his voice wasn't right and his posture was awful.

What I Liked:

Seeing Clark Gable play another slick talking baddie.

What I Didn't Like:

Barthelmess was distracting

What I Learned:

Lingle was tied up with Al Capone in Chicago, but he was never charged in the murder of Lingle.
