Lang's 'Romeo and Juliet', with the doomed couple ex con Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sidney. Tragic and ironic with Fonda killing a priest and escaping from jail, not believing he's been cleared and is a free man. Interesting touches in lyrical film.
Photographed by Leon Shamroy, edited by Daniel Mandell, music by Alfred Newman.
That is a young uncredited Jack Carson. With Barton MacLane, Jean Dixon, William Gargan.
Despite line up behind camera it's actually a Walter Wanger production, released by United Artists.
I think it was in this film that we were impressed with a shot of a car driving away at speed that reminded me of the scene in Daisy Miller where the carriage abruptly departs from the Colosseum.
