You Can't Get Away with Murder

You Can't Get Away with Murder is a 1939 crime drama directed by Lewis Seiler, starring Humphrey Bogart and Gale Page, and featuring "Dead End Kid" leader Billy Halop.

The film is from Bogart's period of being cast in B pictures by Warner Bros., before his breakthrough as a leading man in High Sierra two years later.

In New York's Hell's Kitchen, young Johnny Stone goes against the advice of his sister Madge and hooks up with mobster Frank Wilson.

This time the owner resists and sounds an alarm; Frank kills him and leaves the gun there, so Johnny cannot return it to Fred's room as he intended.

Although mortally wounded, Johnny survives long enough to tell the truth, implicating Frank for both murders and finally clearing Fred.

When he reaches the turn around point, out walks Humphrey Bogart in his "Stripes" character of Charles "Chuck" Martin with a female companion.
