The Longest Night (1936 film)

The Longest Night is a 1936 American mystery film directed by Errol Taggart and written by Robert Hardy Andrews.

The film stars Robert Young, Florence Rice, Ted Healy, Julie Haydon, Catherine Doucet and Janet Beecher.

[1][2] Running a mere 51 minutes, it is believed to be the shortest feature ever produced by MGM, lending a certain irony to the title.

As an investigation into the robbery begins, Carl Briggs is shot and killed, his mother's body is also found, and Eve and a co-worker, Mr. Grover, are taken hostage.

Firemen and police race to the scene as Joan and a crew of cleaning ladies fend off the gang, while Charley fights and overcomes the scheme's mastermind and killer, Grover.
