Viewing Notes

Warner Instant Beta is still running! So why not another film, shall we? In this one Bogie gets passed on a job promotion by an immigrant worker and signs up to join the Black Legion, a white supremacist group that looks like the KKK. Their mission is to put immigrants in the place and run them out of town. Of course this leads to conflict and troubles at home. Pretty good flick considering the hot button subject matter. A little less convinced with how things transpire and unravel for Bogart. Still a decent watch plus Bogart.
