22 in my quest to watch 365 movies in 2020: Show Them No Mercy, 1935, Starring Cesar Romero (it's essentially a Joker origin movie) and Rochelle Hudson (again). Quality 7/10 Entertainment 6/10. In its day, this film was intended as a throwaway piece of popular entertainment, designed for mass appeal; if it were released today, it would be accepted as serious cinema; practically a 'festival darling'. It's an enjoyably tense crime drama, delivered by some fine actors, and Rochelle Hudson. Also, this movie features an uncredited appearance by Lynn Bari.
