Midnight (1934)
8/10
Topped off with Nihilism
15 August 2022
The plot is summarized by others. It's a three set movie, court room, kitchen, and living room. I enjoyed this movie, although from the moment Bogart speaks with the daughter at the home, the ending is telegraphed, but only partly. After the inevitable occurs, the prosecutor shows up at the house and the final part of the movie is an exercise in nihilistic cynicism, proving the point Bogart makes earlier in the movie at the trial. There are three corrupt cynics: Bogart, the boyfriend/gangster, Hull, a newspaper reporter, and the prosecutor. Only Hull redeems himself.
