Forgotten Gem
I purchased this film on a whim from Zeus and I am glad that I did. The film stars, Clive Brook, Kay Francis and Miriam Hopkins who is really good in the movie. This is a pre-code crime drama. The quality of the film is excellent. I am a film buff and have purchased several films from Zeus from time to time. Their library is incredible having films that you will not find anywhere else. If you are a true film buff and have never seen "24 Hours" then take a chance and get it. You won't be disappointed. While you are at it, peruse the Zeus film library. You will find many unique titles!
