Featured review
I Was There
The second entry in MGM's long-running crime series has Al Bridge telling the MGM Crime Reporter a long and unlikely yarn of an unbreakable alibi and how it was broken, as it always will be broken because CRIME DOES NOT PAY.
MGM was moving slowly and erratically into short subject production. On the minus side, MGM, from its amalgamation in 1923, had been the home of prestige features, and short-subjects could best be left to the companies that specialized in such movies. On the plus side, those companies could no longer show comfortable or even any profit, and in-house production gave MGM a means to train talented newcomers to the industry.
This one is well-produced with a fine cast, although I think the story offered is so unlikely as to be nonsense.
