THE 'GOOD' OLD DAYS
2 October 2023
As vintage exploitation films go, this one is pretty good at giving us a look at 1930's mores and attitudes. This is something these cheaply made melodramas expressed more frankly than the A product from the major studios, which is what makes them fascinating despite their lack of slick production values. If anything, it only adds a crude sense of realism befitting the sleazy subject matter.

It's also interesting to see actors like silent screen veteran William Farnum and Eddie Woods, who appeared in many reputable films during this era, notably as James Cagney's pal in THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931).
