WORLD GONE MAD, THE(1933)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
As Rainey says, this is not a terror movie
at all! Also, the sound on this fades in and
out! The good: Neil Hamilton(Batman's Commissioner
Gordon), Pat O'Brien, decent story(A district
attorney[Hamilton] and a reporter[O'Brien] try
to find the killer of the D.A. who uncovered a
massive stock fraud.) and a brisk pace!! The
bad: the sound detracts from the show! But
overall, this is pretty good! B-
From a reviewer from IMDb.com:
This is a s-l-o-w crime drama. Not much of
a mystery and it's definitely NOT a thriller
nor a horror film. It's not the worst film
in the world but there are much better
crime-dramas from the 1930s. This one is
not memorable.
The Internet Archives says this film's
genre is drama/horror and the movie is
also found in the 50 horror film collection.
This film is far away from being a horror film.
Wikipedia has this film as a crime-thriller
listed at the bottom of the page. Crime - yes.
A thriller? - Debatable. I would argue NO
this movie is not even a thriller film.
I think the genre tags on IMDb are correct
for this film: crime, drama, mystery. That
sums the film right up.
The movie is watchable but I have seen much
more interesting crime-dramas from the 1930s
than this particular film.
