A Gentleman After Dark (1942)
If you like old gangster pictures, find a copy of the obscure A Gentleman After Dark for this weekend. It follows the classic formula of all those great James Cagney and Edward G. Robinson movies of the 1930s and ’40s, with violence, tension, great characters, friendship with cronies, and tenderness to make you cry. But this one stars the underrated Brian Donlevy instead!
Brian plays a gangster with a trademark of a heliotrope boutonniere. He has a respected friendship with Preston Foster, the detective who’s always trying to catch him in the act. He also has a beautiful but demanding wife, Miriam Hopkins. Miriam is volatile and hard to handle, but he loves her. You can find out more about the synopsis online, but I’d rather not tell you. It’s so exciting when you watch it and let it unfold naturally. You won’t see the twists and turns coming. But you will see an absolutely delightful performance from Brian Donlevy. He’s so sweet and charming and handsome! This movie will make you an instant fan of his, as it did of me. For a great double feature this weekend, pair this movie with Stella Dallas. You’ll know why.
