Viewing Notes
An interesting little moral tale about racism and white supremacy and factory workers with Bogart playing the bad guy who redeems himself at the end even though it’s too late. I suspect that these heavily moral tales were all the rage immediately after the introduction of the Hayes Code earlier in the decade.
