In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


A couple of young Bonnie and Clyde wannabes are
tired of being poor so they decide to pull off a
bank robbery at the bank where the boy works! It
goes off without a hitch and they wind up in jail!
Course they figured on that, and that they'd wait
till they got out of jail to re-coup the money
and live happily ever after! However things don't
go exactly as they planned and things go pretty
bad for them! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

Wrong Road, The (1937)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A man and woman (Richard Cromwell/Helen Mack)
who plan on being married are having a hard time
with life so they find a get rich quick scheme.
The two plan on stealing $100,000 from a bank,
hide the money, turn themselves in, stay their
prison term and when released, they'll have the
money to live on for the rest of their lives
but things never work out how you have them
planned. This is a half way decent film that
remains interesting throughout it's short
52-minute running time. The performances
by the two leads are good and Lionel Atwill
adds great support as a detective. This seems
like a feature version of Buried Loot, which
I watched earlier in the year. This was
directed by famous silent actor James Cruze
who played Jekyll & Hyde in the 1912
version. - Michael_Elliott
