Bank Alarm (1937)
5/10
No matter how smooth, robbers always get caught!
9 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The theft of bank funds seems perfect for thieves with airtight alibis seems tight to them: they were in jail overnight! But federal investigators and a female reporter are hot on the case that shows, even in a pre-digital age, clues are always left behind. An entertaining crime yarn filled with comedy thanks to a short, balding bumbling photographer (whom all the ladies think is "cute"), this also raises minor bit players to major character parts, and wraps up neatly in an hour. It is also well filmed so it doesn't look cheap, utilizing a dozen or so extras in a dance sequence (obviously crowded together to give the impression of a busy nightclub) and above average direction for a more "expensive" look.
