Review of Law and Order

One more time, I realize that the users have not pointed a very important information about this film. A film that demonstrates a very exceptional violence right in the middle of the thirties. That was so unusual, even before the Hayes Code arrival. I speak of the fact that there was another film made in the same period, a crime film, also written by the terrific W R Burnett and characterized by the great Walter Huston, with also a brutal final gunfight. I talk, of course, of THE BEAST OF THE CITY. I am surprised that no one has spoken about this. Even a blind man, would have told that.

Both of them are pure masterpieces, and not only because of the extreme violence.

I will never be tired of watching them.
