American Madness (1932 Frank Capra)

Rather enjoyed this tough early Capra more than the overly-sentimental stuff.

Walter Huston great as bank president. With Pat O'Brien, Kay Johnson, Constance Cummings, Gavin Gordon.

Loved the touch that the phone operator has caused the panic in the first place - written by Robert Riskin.

Very stylishly shot by Joseph Walker on Stephen Goosson's intricate sets.
