So many wonderful actors and characters and a great story sort of a historical fiction because that racket did exist. Thank you, Pizza!!!

Did you notice H.B.Warner? Mr. Gower of "It's a Wonderful Life" fame. He was British, and must have been one hell of an actor. The "look what you put in those pills, just look what you did" scene is one of the most intense scenes in film history.

Nice show but audio (dialog) is almost unintelligible.

[@huntingthekaiser6490]

Did you notice Mary Gordon--Mrs. Hudson from the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies? She was a real Scots woman from Glascow, meaning her accent was authentic.

Frank Ferguson! Hefty career landed him as shopkeeper in Andy Griffith's Mayberry USA.

Good movie with stand-up characters and just enough plot twists. Sound is terrible. Went for earphones and one channel was passable. Put the other in my armpit. Satisfactory.

[@PLoWBoY618]

good flick but the sound sucks A BIT.....
but that is ok ....

in re: finale
Is there ANYBODY in this town who isn't packing a rod? (except of course Mike, the Big Boss of The Bread Basket!)

[@StevenTorrey]

Let's just say at 75 cents admission, I would have paid too much.

[@coolroy4300]

You probably paid TOO much for the popcorn lol

[@tpe54]

well i sat thru the whole thing. ouch! the crunchy sound.... I give it a B-........It seems anachronistic for 1942, like a 1930's movie IMHO

[@waderaney7]

The 👍 H B Warner😉

SERIOUS AUDIO PROBLEM: CANT WATCH, BUT LOOKED PROMISING!!!

[@isotopefeeney]

Kind of a new wrinkle: instead of a protection racket vis-a-vis people selling booze, a protection racket vis-a-vis people selling lettuce!

[@laredoland]

I gave up after 8 minutes. The audio is bad throughout.

[@johnnynoirman]

Hahahaha
