Thunder In the City (1937)
#BOTD #EdwardGRobinson #RalphRichardson #NigelBruce
Edward G was so magnetic I couldn’t turn away. Low budget & slow in parts but with some fave Brits like Nigel Bruce & Ralph Richardson, it was a US-UK merger worth watching. Edward G’s character was especially enjoyable as the “dream the impossible” type salesman who wins over the “dignified” UK public.
Enjoyed it! Uplifting!
