NIGHT COURT (1932) B/W 93m dir: W.S. Van Dyke

w/Phillips Holmes, Walter Huston, Lewis Stone, Anita Page, Mary Carlisle, Jean Hersholt

Solid, somber crime drama has Huston as a ruthless, crooked judge who abuses his power until he's stopped by crusader Stone. Big-city corruption is displayed without glamour. An authoritative job from Huston, with good support from the rest of the cast.
