Gangs of Chicago is a 1940 crime film. Dwight Frye -one of my favorites- is in this, and Alan Ladd has an uncredited role. It's just over an hour long, and it has Dwight Frye in it. What more do you need?
I watched it on Youtube, but I can't find it anywhere now. I couldn't even find a trailer. Here's one scene:
TCM has an overview.

ReplyDeleteVery tough-guy :)
Delete...and there still are gangs in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteYes, in fact I had a bit of trouble narrowing down search results for the film lol
DeleteThis looks like a good one. I will check it out when I have time. Have a great Monday.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could still find it online :(
DeleteI don't know this film or even the actors. Of course that isn't that surprising. Hope your week started off nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou'd probably know Dwight Frye if you were to see him. Probably not Alan Ladd... but maybe.
DeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThis is a film I saw at the film museum here. They often show 'oldies' there! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe Memphis Brooks Museum of Art used to have a film series. I love that kind of thing :)
DeleteI didn't know there was an earlier version! Not that any remake should be a surprise--LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized there was a remake!
DeleteOh wait! That was Gangs of New York--sorry--LOL!
DeleteThose gangs all run together lol
DeleteThis looks like a good noir. I don't know Dwight Frye, though. A new discovery!
ReplyDeleteHe was only 44 when he died, but I've always watched for him.
