Review of Crack-Up

Crack-Up (1936)
6/10
Ace Martin's a Swell Guy! (Or is he?)
12 April 2022
Nice little B actioner with Peter Lorre as a spy named Gimpy who is a little nuts and Brian Donlevy as a pilot/inventor who sells out because he was ripped off over an invention of his. Donlevy's character's name is Ace Martin and boy you better get used to hearing that because I don't think there's more than three straight minutes in this movie where someone doesn't say his name. Not that you can blame them - it's a pretty cool name.

Worth a look for fans of the stars and anyone who loves seeing planes in old pictures. The scenes on the plane in the latter part of the film are the best parts. And remember: Gimpy needs your prayers it's true but save a few for Ace Martin, too. He only did what he had to do.
