Alibi (1929)

"Nightstick," under the title of "Alibi" has come to the screen as an almost flawless talkie. Chester Morris brings to the films the same potent crook that made him famous on the stage. Here is the story of a young gun-man, crooked to the core, who takes advantage of the misguided sympathy of a policeman's daughter and marries her. When the cops corner him, he turns yellow. Corking melodrama.
