Van Dyke New York romantic love triangle gangster crime melodrama ("Why was Broadway's most notorious gambler chosen as best man at the wedding of the District Attorney?"; "Was it true that she had been the gambler's sweetheart, too?"; about a very unusual romantic triangle between a gangster, his girlfriend, and the District Attorney; the gangster and the D.A. are lifelong pals; they both love the same girl; the D.A. convicts the gangster of murder, is elected Governor, then must decide whether to allow his best friend to be executed, especially since his wife loves the best friend more than he; they don't make 'em like that anymore!) starring Clark Gable, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Leo Carrillo, Nat Pendleton, Mickey Rooney, Isabel Jewell, and Muriel Evans. Note that this movie has an unusual distinction. John Dillinger was captured by the FBI, only because his girlfriend's roommate turned him in; she told the FBI she would get him to take her to a movie, and that she would be dressed in red; the movie they were seeing was "Manhattan Melodrama"!
