TWO SECONDS.
Edward G Robinson & Preston Foster,
Vivienne Osborne, Guy Kibbee, Adrienne Dare.
Dir: Mervyn Le Roy, 1932, Warner Bros.
SYNOPSIS:
Dark, heavy-hearted drama as a killer considers his life in the last two seconds before the switch gets thrown at his execution."He went to work with Le Roy again on what he hoped would be better vehicle, the story of sour murderer who unrepentant about murdering his wife and dies in the electric chair. It was not a good film. Today, Le Roy has no memory of it."
- Alan Gansberg, E G Robinson biographer.REVIEWS:
"General slowness and stodgy overdramatics won't draw the flaps, nor will a tragic finalé help."
- Variety.
"A film that compels attention."
- Mordaunt Hall, New York Times.
