Notes from the attic: City Streets

We just watched City Streets (1931) in movie club — Dashiell Hammett's (The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon) first Hollywood script. A mobster's daughter courts a hansom carnival worker (Gary Cooper). When she lands in the slammer for helping her pop, he feels obligated to join the gang. Highly recommended.
