Fortunes change rapidly.
I probably don’t need to make note of this, but why guess or presume.
It’s yet another home run for Warner Archive.
Gorgeous black and white cinematography by Sol Polito is perfectly reproduced.
The score is by Max Steiner.
For those unaware, Mr. Curtiz directed five films released in 1938. Most of you are probably more aware of a Robin Hood picture using that early Technicolor process.
One of the quintessential Warner gangster productions, that deserves to be in every serious library.

Robert has been known in the film industry for his unmatched skill and passion in film preservation. Growing up around photography, his first home theater experience began at age ten with 16mm. Years later he was running 35 and 70mm at home.
His restoration projects have breathed new life into classic films like Lawrence of Arabia, Vertigo, My Fair Lady, Spartacus, and The Godfather series. Beyond his restoration work, he has also shared his expertise through publications, contributing to the academic discourse on film restoration. The Academy Film Archive houses the Robert A.
