Another super-famous but allegedly-hard-to-find film is Spencer Tracy's second movie, Quick Millions (1931). This also is a public domain title, so it's pleasing to report that Scooter have an 8/10 DVD with French sub-titles. And a fascinating film it is too, not just for Tracy's usual charismatic performance, but for someone who manages to steal all his scenes even when standing right in the background.
I refer to George Raft who, despite his seventh billing actually has a fairly large and most important role. You'll never forget two of George's scenes whereas I've half-forgotten most of Tracy's already.
Spence is also up against John Wray who wrote some great dialogue for himself, whereas Spense has to make do with what director Rowland Brown could improvise.
This movie was writer Brown's first film as a director. He followed with Hell's Highway (1932), Blood Money (1933), but was fired from the 1936 The Devil Is a Sissy. However, he continued to write a few screen stories like Angels with Dirty Faces (1938), plus the screenplay for Henry Hathaway's Johnny Apollo (1940) starring Tyrone Power.
