This stylish thriller from director Roland West (The Bat Whispers) shows more than a hint of influence from the German expressionist cinema of the 1920s and is an early precursor to the film noir movement. Chester Morris plays a Prohibition gangster released from prison who falls under suspicion for the murder of a policeman. Soon he is pursued with a vengeance by the detective squad. West's striking visual compositions, William Cameron Menzie's eccentric Art Deco sets and the film's innovative use of sound turn this crime story into a treasure of its era. The film received Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Actor (Morris) and Art Direction (Menzies). Also known as Nightstick and The Perfect Alibi. Roland West---USA---1929---84 mins.
