Featured review
Safety First Means Safety Last
John Wray has been running his construction company for twenty years. Recently, however, his buildings have been falling down, sabotaged! He's running out of money, so he gets a partner in. Lionel Royce -- doing an Akim Tamiroff imitation. Royce, however, is the mobster who's been wrecking his buildings, and now builds them so far below code they can't possibly pass..... although a few busted heads among the inspectors may take care of that problem.. Can he make crime pay?
No! Why call the series CRIME DOESN'T PAY if hat's the case? This is an ok entry in MGM's long-running crime drama, with the techniques of how to build shoddy buildings well covered in case anyone wants to try it. It also has a pretty exciting ending.
