Directed by John Cromwell
Written by John Howard Lawson (screenplay) James M. Cain (additional dialogue)
Cinematography James Wong Howe
This is remarkable for several reasons. One, it is in good shape and is in the public domain. Second, it is one of the few movies that James M. Cain was given screenwriters' credit. (Cain is one of my favorite writers.) Third, it is one of the few public domain movies which was shot by legendary cinematographer James Wong Howe (who was nominated for an Academy Award for this film). Fourth, it is the first Hollywood film of Hedy Lamarr. Finally, it was the inspiration for the 1942 film Casablanca with Humphrey Bogart.
