PUNQ

Rated 04 Jul 2014

A largely forgotten gangster flick of the early 30s. Probable due to some questionable casting choices and the focus on good natured romantics. Robert Young was really out of place. More banal then usual. However Boris Karloff sets the tone. Leo Carrillo has a slow start, but the role grows on him and he becomes the focal point as his character gets darker. A good film for regular gangster Leslie Fenton too. Then there is Constance Cummings, as the name suggests, that's what she does to me.
