The Damned Don’t Cry (1950), a delightfully overheated noir-tinged Joan Crawford melodrama. She becomes a fashion model and naturally winds up as a gangster's moll. A fine movie although Crawford was fifteen years too old for the part.

MGM's The Beast of the City (1932), most hard-edged and violent of all 30s gangster movies. Based on a W. R. Burnett story. Walter Huston is chilling as the obsessed cop. Jean Harlow, unconstrained by the Production Code, sizzles as a bad girl.

Flawed but engrossing, this historical picture reveals Scorsese's fascination with the past.
