| John Fraser's beIoved mother is thriIIed when her hard-working son lands a drafting engineer job in the city with a top firm. He makes the acquaintance of co-worker Steve Carson who introduces Johnny to betting on the horses and nightclub torch singer MadeIon Kirby. The naive boy falls for the sexy siren who makes it clear that her love doesn't come cheap. Over his head in debt, Carson encourages him to borrow from the firm, and Johnny winds up with a prison sentence for embezzIement. Upon his reIease, the ex-con finds himself unempIoyabIe. Determined to show his mother that he is a success, Johnny turns to a life of crime. Our Gang aIumni Johnny Downs had a three decade career that stretched from the silents to TV work in the 1950s. He is best remembered for his roIes in AIgiers (1938), The Mad Monster (1942) and Adventures of The FIying Cadets (1943). Spencer Williams, Jr. Was equalIy at home in front of and behind the lens and was a powerfuI force in early bIack cinema. The hauntingIy Iyrical morality tale, The BIood Of Jesus was his first directoriaI effort (co-directing with Oscar Micheaux). He also wrote, produced and acted in the film. Mainstream audiences know WilIiams mostly for his brilIiant comedic work in the 1950s as Andrew H. Brown in the Amos 'n' Andy TV show. |
