Black Legion (1937)
7/10
Appropriate Theme for Today
3 June 2020
One of the great Humphrey Bogart's early starring features shines a light on the dangers of a mob mentality using hatred against others because of perceived differences. Despite the obvious qualifications over him a man whose is foreign born but every bit an American (Just like than anyone else) is put upon by an organization called Black Legion-a hate group that is against immigrants. They go under the guise of protecting "Americans." Somehow, the parallels between this 1937 movie and today were too close and it is sad that we have not progressed further. Very well-played especially by Bogart and Ann Sheridan
