Officer 13 is a gem of a picture. Filmed for the most part on location in Los Angeles in 1933 it gives a nice historical sense to the film being able to see some old Hollywood locations. The cast is good, and it has a good and believable plot. A motorcycle policeman is killed when he is run off the road by a rich and corrupt playboy. In the car with the playboy at the time of the policeman's murder is Lila Lee who is also the daughter of a high profile judge. In the police inquest Lee testifies that the officers death was an accident. Only later when Lee meets the officers young son does she recant and say that his death was murder.
The film is very well done, and is in the public domain. The DVD version (put out by Alpha Video) has wonderful sound and a great picture quality.
