How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A crackling pre-Code thriller where an innocent man gets trapped in the gears of gangland corruption and false accusation. The novelty of synchronized sound crackles with urgency as the noose tightens.
