During World War II, all the studios put out "all-star" vehicles which featured virtually every star on the lot--often playing themselves--in musical numbers and comedy skits, and were meant as morale-boosters to both the troops overseas and the civilians at home.

George Raft and Constance Cummings in “Night After Night” (1932). Raft shows quite a lively and dynamic personality in this movie—quite a contrast to his more stoic acting style I’m used to seeing in his later movies.

Rogue Cop (1954) deals with a subject, police corruption, that was very touchy in the 50s.
Robert Taylor stars and there’s a terrific supporting cast - George Raft, Janet Leigh and Anne Francis.
Robert Taylor shed his matinee idol image in the 50s and gave some great cynical world-weary noir performances.
A tough unsentimental hard-hitting film noir.

Looking for an old gangster movie? The 1932 "Scarface" kicks ass.
Paul Muni is so playful & scary & hot, frankly. The smirk & the way he walks. All the actors move distinctively, maybe from working on silent films & Vaudeville.
A portrait of life b4 machine guns were outlawed.

Johnny Angel (1945), a lesser known nautical noir with a fine performance by the great George Raft. Written by Steve Fisher.
Johnny Angel (George Raft) is a sea captain like his father. When he finds his father’s ship drifting at sea in the Gulf of Mexico, with its cargo intact but the crew (including his father) nowhere to be found, he is determined to find out what has happened.
