DVD Savant writes cynically that &#8220;<em>Manhattan Fairy Tale<\/em> would be a better title for this fantasy with its scrupulously honest politico, gloriously noble racketeer and the glamorous but virtuous sweetheart who loves them both.&#8221; To that end, all three characters are surprisingly sympathethic, if unrealistic: one could only hope for such forthright and noble acquaintances, lovers, and allies. James Wong Howe&#8217;s cinematography is typically atmospheric, and the story moves along at a reasonable clip. This one is not quite must-see viewing but worth a look. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This film is infamous for being the movie John Dillinger was watching before being gunned down by police outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>James Wong Howe&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography2.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Cinematography-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine lead performances (Peary nominates Loy as one of the Best Actresses of the Year in his <em>Alternate Oscars<\/em>)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Leads.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Leads.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Leads.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Leads-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Manhattan-Melodrama-Leads-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s worth a one-time look as Oscar-winner for Best Original Story.
