Big City Blues: Review

starstarstarstar
Linden is visiting Manhattan from a small town in Indiana. He meets his cousin Catlett and ends up with unexpected troubles. Catlett throws a party at Linden's hotel room and a young girl is killed by a bottle someone throws. Everyone flees, including Linden, along with his newfound girl friend Blondell. Of course, Linden is the leading suspect, but his name is cleared when the real killer is found hanging in a closet after committing suicide. Linden returns to Indiana, but makes enough money to come back and marry Blondell. Some good direction. The script contains gags that are stale, but there's some nice use of dissolves and atmospheric shots. The innocent country boy overwhelmed by the big city was a popular theme for Warner Bros. films at the time. Watch for Bogart in one of his first film appearances. leave a comment
