Do you remember the first time I came to see you in your office? Your dingy, gloomy office in that dingy dirty street, the rotten smell of the factory chimneys pressing down on the shabby little houses, the slovenly old women, the gray-faced dirty little children starting out with everything against them. I remember that street.

They Won’t Forget (1937) is one of the New York Times 1,000 Best Films.

Critic Leslie Halliwelll gave the film three stars out of four and wrote “Finely detailed social drama, a classic of American realism, harrowing to watch,”

My rating - above average

The film was directed by Mervyn LeRoy, who was born in San Francisco and had 77 director credits from 1927 to 1966.   Merv has four entries among my nest 1,001 movies - LIttle Caeasr (also on the NY Times list), I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, Gold Diggers of 1933, and The Bad Seed.

Decoy (1946)

“One can only wonder the sensation Decoy might have created had it been given proper studio treatment and if it had more than 74 minutes to get its point across that some women are even more wicked than Phyllis Dietrichson.  But it gets the job done, and considering that leading actress [Jean] Gillie would die just three years later from pneumonia only solidifies the movie’s amalgamation of the strange, the nightmarish, and the tragedies of the missed opportunity.”
