We Call ourselves Inmates
24 December 2018
Bogart plays a reformed Inmate and now Trustee in this very very early Talking Movie from John Ford. Starring alongside Spencer Tracy Bogart looks very fresh faced in this his first film and Tracy's 4th film, they never starred together ever again in their film careers. In This Print Bogart befriends a female Inmate from the same prison albeit separated by a huge wall apart from a small fenced section where their closeness blossoms. However there are some nasty elements with others out to frame them and Mr Tracy comes to their aid.

This is a great film, comedy and early great acting from two greats in the film industry. If your lucky to get hold of this its a keeper and a great early classic and well worth a watch. seeing a very young Bogart and he wide smile makes me smile, its catching i promise.
