El dedo acusador (1931)
La historia está basada en el auténtico asesinato de un periodista del Chicago Tribune a manos de los sicarios de Al Capone, cuando éste descubrió que le traicionaba. Aquí la cosa se adorna con la biografía de dicho personaje, un humilde muchacho del Sur que vio la oportunidad de avanzar en la gran ciudad como periodista. Para ganar más dinero acepta un trato con un capo mafioso llamado Louis Blanco (Clark Gable) para manipular la información.
Directora: John Francis Dillon
