Pre-Code Crazy: Jewel Robbery (1932)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Oct 3, 2021
October is the cruelest month . . . for me trying to pick out a pre-Code to recommend on TCM! You see, TCM’s schedule every October features lots of horror movies, from the famous to the obscure, and if you know me at all, you know that horror movies are not my bag, man. So, once I eliminated the read more

Armored Car Robbery (1950): Wrigley Field L.A. Noir
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Nov 3, 2019
Armored Car Robbery instantly had my rapt attention in part because of its location shooting and due to one place in particular. We start out at L.A. City Hall and soon a shooting and a robbery are being called in from nearby Wrigley Field, which sends Lt. Cordell (Charles McGraw) and his partner o read more
Jewel Robbery (1932)
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Oct 16, 2018
It’s the old story. A pompous old coot is bragging proudly about his new unstoppable, indestructible system of invisible lights he has put in place to stop even the most skilled burglars. No sooner have the words left his mouth and we already know he’s doomed. Sure enough, not a moment read more
Film Noir Review: Armored Car Robbery (1950)
Classic Movie Hub Blog Posted by Danilo Castro on Aug 13, 2018
“Tough break, Marsha.”
The heist movie is a subset of film noir that rewards brevity. The characters in these films are professionals, articulate men who find success in choosing their actions, and their words, carefully. Mere seconds can mean the difference between the heist of a lifeti read more
Day 28 of Noirvember: Armored Car Robbery (1950)
Shadows and Satin Posted by shadowsandsatin on Nov 28, 2017
A noirish conversation if I ever saw one. The more I see William Talman, the more I like him. That is, the more I see him outside of a courtroom with Perry Mason. That’s where I first met this actor and first grew to view him with equal parts dislike and disdain. But boy, his film noir performances read more

Lets Misbehave: A Tribute to Precode Hollywood Posted by Emma on Jun 10, 2014
Jewel Robbery 1932 is another one of those amazing
Precode films that is unabashedly full of sin - from, sex, drugs, crime and adultery
– but never seems to cross the line into unwatchable salaciousness or
exploitation. I suppose it is probably due to the incredibly personas and
acting of Kay read more

One of the earliest blockbusters, this film is a legend in the history of cinema. But how does it hold up (no pun intended) for the modern viewer? The story involves the execution of a daring train robbery and the subsequent posse pursuit. Exciting stuff or a creaky relic? Robbing the train. Anoth read more

The Man on the Flying Trapeze Posted by David on Jul 17, 2012
Please forgive me.
I have been raised in a cynical age, so expressions of sincerity don't come easily to me. On the one hand, I am a firm believer in what Lily Tomlin once said: "No matter how cynical you get, it's never enough to keep up." On the other, when I come across something that's genuinel read more
