Hunh.....and here all along I thought the Great Depression was caused by the "dust bowl".....inflation....stocks purchased on margin....the lingering angst of World War One....and prohibition....when it was really due to a steady diet of whiskey, cigarettes, and greasy men with pencil thin moustaches. Great classic with a sturdy cast...thank you for archiving and posting!!

Now that was a good movie! Short, “sweet” and to the point. Boy I really believed my beloved Rod La Roque as a deplorable wastrel for a little but there but I knew he’d redeem himself in record time. And I thought mid-way, if he doesn’t marry that girl, there’s no hope for him.

‘The Drag-Net’ was the second feature with Chaplin’s ‘Modern Times’ at the State Theatre, Patterson, NJ - it played in a number of small cities with ‘Modern Times’. ‘The Drag-Net’ was the second feature with ‘Early To Bed’ with Charles ‘Buddy’ Rogers and Mary Boland at the Broad Theatre, Harrisburg, PA. It was the second feature with ‘Every Saturday Night’ with June Lang at the Keith’s Theatre, Portland, ME. ‘The Drag-Net’ did not play in New York or Los Angeles, however it played one theatre in Chicago - The Midway Theatre as second feature to ‘Scandals Of Paris’ with Wendy Barrie.

I always liked Rod LaRocque, but 28 minutes into this and I'm done. This is just one slow-motion scene after another.💣

Nothing but superlatives for this movie: the dumbest DA, the dumbest reporter, the dumbest gangster... Another plus, the acting lives down to all that.

Spoiler alert ----- spoiler alert spoiler alert -------- spoiler alert That guy was ao irritating to me that i found myself rooting for the bad guys to make him fail!! I almoat always would rather watch a show like this over anything made post 1975, but this one had such a duphus of a lead, along with him picking up the murder weapon at the crime scene after he previously had a similar scene and knew enough to tell everyone not to touch anything. And then he gets pursued for the crime because of that. And there was more idiotic writing that was just TOO MUCH. Including how the real killer admitted his guilt and have up his boss when he had no good reason to do so. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't watch the movie.
