THE HATCHET MAN

Directed by William A. Wellman

(1932) Memorable shock ending redeems the Max Factored eyelids of this Frisco Chinatown triangle drama, with Leslie Fenton messing with Loretta Young, wife of bigwig Edward G. Robinson’s Mr. Wong. Big mistake! 35mm. Approx. 74 min.

OTHER MEN’S WOMEN

Directed by William A. Wellman

(1931) Evicted from his boarding house and dumped by saucy waitress Joan Blondell, hard-boozing engineer Grant Withers is taken in by fellow railroad man Regis Toomey and wife Mary Astor… but then … Striking on-location filming of still-puffing steam locomotives, a spectacular sacrifice as a flood threatens a bridge, and a pre-stardom James Cagney literally bursting into dance. 35mm. Approx. 70 min.
