Born Reckless

John Ford, 1930, Fox: a gangster is sentenced to the war so a judge can get re-elected, and comes home to a city that has not saved a place for him. From a play by Donald Ogden Stewart. Early sound, Ford not yet the Ford of Stagecoach. Edmund Lowe. It is a Warner-style social picture made at Fox, about a man the law used as publicity. Born reckless, the title says. The film says the city was.
