However old and corny, I get enormous pleasure from these old black and white movies. This one is 2 years older than me! Kind regards and best wishes to all similar fans who may watch this film. England, January, 2024.

There is nothing corny about okd movies. The modern ones are the problem.

[@ronaldstrange8981]

@@es6544 An excellent point Sir with which, I totally agree. My last cinema visit was to Stan and Ollie, with Steve Coogan doing a wonderful job as Stan. Regards.

[@anthonyvalenti9093]

Yes, very ‘corny.’ The DA says check for prints after everyone has touched the gun. Humphrey had 3 slugs in him? When they match the ones in the gun, I guess they will declare it an unusual suicide!

Yes, I love them, too. All the best and happy viewing in 2024, Mr. Strange.

Sidney Fox, an actress I have seen only in this movie, reminds me of Robert Bresson's reason for avoiding professional performers: He always noticed that they were acting. Once Bogart's scenes are in the can, this movie really runs out of steam. Henry Hull helps get us through that last half hour, but boy, it's a long half hour. Partial credit for the gunshot/electrocution/flashbulb button, which packs no punch today but was pretty advanced in Ol' '34.

[@johnbougearel9215]

So right, Fox is overacting. Her name is easy to confuse with Sylvia Sidney - and early Sylvia Sidney movies are more than worth watching - SS was memorable in movies when she was both young and old, but her early years were fantastic.

[@Bartelldarcy]

@@johnbougearel9215 , I believe Tim Burton got the great Sylvia Sidney one of her last paychecks.

Love the old films from the 20s and starting of the 30s, before Hollywood censor. They are so much more down to earth and authentic, touching on sensitive subjects. A great movie and Borgart as always playing the shady one, calling his women "kid" ;)

SO true!! These were real actors and actresses, with real car chases, no computer generated scenes!! Nice to meet you!! Haha

[@yasminedey8612]

@@micro-organism-pv5gd Thanks for the information, but I ment the content, not the quality. Starting of the 30s Hollywood started censoring films and took control of the production, so a lot of subjects and styles were forbidden. For me it became then stereotyped and superficial.

[@jonathangems]

Sidney Fox was a successful, very beautiful movie star who made 15 films between 1931 and 1934. She was 24 when she became a star. Carl Laemmle, who ran Universal Studios, gave her a movie contract and she became his mistress. A year later, when she was 25, she married an agent. Mysteriously, she stopped acting in 1935-didn't work for 8 years- then died, aged 34, of a drug overdose. She starred in films with Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Bela Lugosi and Spencer Tracy. She was great. So, what happened?

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

Didn't fare well in talkie films is my guess. This film is reminiscent of silent movies.

@@magicray5088 Do you really believe things have changed much? The gap between the "haves" and "have nots" has widened considerably since the 1930s! The rich, powerful and influential have ALWAYS had an advantage within the U.S. legal system.

[@j.w.2391]

Your comment intrigued me, as I liked Sidney too. Find a copy of Women in Horror Films, 1930s (1999) to read about the downward spiral of Sidney Fox. She was indeed promising but was one of those "liberated women" who didnt comply with the system or men. She was involved with Laemmle Junior and when their relationship ended, so did her career protection / advancement. Sidney also jumped ship and made one film in France and another in Germany, and then was on Broadway in the late 30s. However, even opportunities there dried up. She was charming but a Limited acting talent. For the record, Sidney was the nominal star of Bad Sister (31), also noted as Bette Davis' debut where future icon has an inauspicious / bland role as the "good sister". Sidney's story was indeed sad one, something out of Valley of the Dolls. Read what happened to her contemporaries Helen Chandler (of Dracula fame) and Anne Nagel, another Universal starlet......whew...

⭐ 👍 WOW! 👍 ⭐ What an interesting (and, at times accurate) view of the U.S. "Justice" System. My guess is that it was one of the last pre-code movies as the code came in mid 1934. Thank you for uploading this film!

Originally released by Universal as "Midnight" in March 1934. Guaranteed Pictures, a small New York distribution company specializing in reissues (including the 1916-'17 Charlie Chaplin Mutual shorts reissued by Van Beuren from 1932 through '34) re-released this as "Call It Murder" [to capitalize on Bogart's later films] in September 1947, with a new opening title emphasizing Bogart's supporting role in the film.

Pena que a maioria dos filmes exibidos aqui pelo KZbin, não venham já com as legendas originais de cinema ou dublados de acordo com cada idioma correspondente ao país que recebe a postagem. As legendas eletrônicas geradas diretamente no PC, é uma verdadeira encrenca! Chega tudo desordenado e mal entendido. Até "palavrões" aparecem como tradução do inglês! Portanto não havendo um bom entendimento da narrativa, também fica difícil mandar um comentário significativo. Pelo que eu entendi ( mal!? ) a "mocinha" teria matado o namorado, ou apenas assumido isso, por estar visivelmente perturbada psicologicamente, com o clima em sua casa. No inquérito iniciado pelo promotor, ele parece criar uma situação para livrar a menina da acusação de assassinato, ou teria mesmo, detectado indícios de uma falsa auto acusação, no melhor estilo freudiano! Em suma, a coisa não ficou clara. Se outra pessoa disparou a arma, quem foi? Gostaria de rever esse filme com legendas originais ou uma boa dublagem em português, para melhor entendimento Espero!

The prosecutor did alter the facts to save his reputation. The fact the reporter was there kind of steering things helped Stella a great deal. I totally agree with you about the crazy automatic subtitles that come up. Pretty much worthless!

Humphrey Bogart. Amazing actor. He never overplayed his role. Ever. Brando tried every trick in the book to upstage everyone. He got away with it when he was young and fairly trim but as he got fat and obese, it was just a smoke screen.

Taking the money doesn't necessarily mean premeditated... One thing leads to another... an after thought.. it's the wife's money too. Story lacks.credibility.. for no one brought this up.

[@Ddax-td7qy]

I agree. Makes no sense dramatically; all that build-up about needing his love, and suddenly she did it for the money? Suddenly ridiculous.But I like the artistic directing/camera work. In response to a side-note of yours, marital money probably wasn't hers back then. I don't know the timeline of "community property" laws, but women only got to vote in 1920. Not so long ago, a woman's pay, if she happened to earn money, was the property of whoever was the nearest male relative. I could go on....
