Jewel Robbery (1932)
6/10
MINOR POWELL IS STILL POWELL...!
19 January 2022
An early William Powell vehicle from 1932. Powell is a gentlemen jewel thief plying his wares in European locales staying ahead of the law but managing to fall in love w/a bored socialite, played by Kay Francis, who decides against her better nature & stature in society to fall in love w/him. Okay for what it is but as is the norm for films of this period, its briskness allows for shallow characterization (sans the leads) & an abbreviated run time which if you're hyped on coffee, it won't help any.
