Tight Shoes is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell and starring Leo Carrillo, John Howard, and Broderick Crawford.
Shoe store owner Amalfi (Leo Carrillo) is forced by crook Speedy Miller (Broderick Crawford) to allow the business to be a front for illegal gambling.
Miller works for a crime boss Horace Grover "the Brain" (Samuel S. Hinds), managing editor of a newspaper.
Jimmy Rupert (John Howard) is a clerk in the store and sells a pair of shoes to Miller that are too small and hurt his feet.
When Grover exits with the district attorney, the two couples begin fighting, and eventually become reunited and married as originally intended.
