[t1g3r5fan]

Another one of the many talents who arrived in Hollywood in the 1930’s due to the deteriorating political climate in Central Europe, former stage actor and theatre director John Brahm arrived in the United States in 1937 and began his directorial career with Columbia Pictures; his most notable of the handful of movies made for the studio – before moving on to greater success with 20th Century Fox in the 1940’s – was Let Us Live (1939). The same year that movie was released, he was lent out to Universal Pictures to work on the crime thriller (with melodramatic elements) Rio. Kino has licensed the movie for its home video debut.
