Johnnie learns crime from petty thug Frank Wilson. When Wilson kills a pawnbroker with a gun stolen from Johnnie's sister Madge's fiance Fred Burke, Fred goes to Sing Sing's death house.

i felt like this was a bit similar to casablanca. a simple film, with a simple story. but it’s so good due to the acting and dialogue.
also. fuck wilson

This had some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen and that includes Bogart but especially “Johnnie”. Mad that this is included in MAXs list of Turner Classics.
