Noir, who is trying to raise social issues. The film features police breaking the law; an incorruptible handsome hero; friendship and duty; racism and love. If you look at it in general, the movie is very old. It is hard to say how the painting looked at the time, but today it looks like an archaic. And I watched the restored version, not the hour and a half.
The story that "Print" tells is completely uninteresting. Character conflicts don't touch. The film is based on Wells' play. If his character had been played by someone else, the film would have seriously sunk. It's about filling the frame. It is noticeable that each angle is built with love and attention to detail. In other films of the same genre, the characters would communicate against the background of bare walls, windows, doors. But such a study does not really save.
In general, it will be interesting to fans of Wells and those who are fond of film history. There is no catchy drama, no strong morality, no fascinating story in the film.
