Underworld (1927)
7/10
Adventure not film noir
9 April 2024
This movie almost didn't saw the daylight. It was produced and stored not to be released.

Why? Probably becouse beeing a gangster or a criminal looked exiting and a good fantasy to have as a way of life.

The second option was becouse it was a direction fail driven by experiments.

The main elements are drama and romance, there is crime environment but the film noir is reduced to a few camera tricks, intead the adventure element surges beyond inconclusions is clearly an adventure.

To fix this the direction needs to restructure the entire romance or make the film all over again from scratch.

A good movie for cinema students to watch and reflect.
