Directed by John Ford
Mild-mannered clerk Edward G. Robinson is a dead ringer for a notorious criminal, inevitably leading to complications as the real-life crook takes advantage of the situation. Arthur plays Robinson’s hard-boiled, fast-talking co-worker who buffers his journey through underworld entanglements, and proves a fitting love interest in the end.
