Bordertown (1935)
Colorized Version
Just on the other side of the California border you'll find it - the posh casino that's the Monte Carlo of the desert. There, enterprising Johnny Ramirez continues his up-from-the-barrio rise. And there, Marie Roark continues her desperate attempt to make Johnny hers, a gambit that includes murdering her naive hubby.
You can feel the heat in Bordertown, the gritty classic matching the incendiary talents of Paul Muni and Bette Davis. Muni's enormous success in Scarface and I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang had gained him an admiring fan base. Davis, in the year after her celebrated Of Human Bondage, gave notice again that hers was a star to be reckoned with. No one goes around the bend better than she. No one.
