PizzaFLIX Presents Classic Movie Monday
Stars: Donald Cook, Peggy Shannon, Jack La Rue
Directed by: Phil Rosen
After serving a 10-year prison stretch for a federal bank heist, a trio of crooks awaits deportation at Ellis Island. But federal agents and the gang’s underworld associates all race to get their hands on the unrecovered loot!
TRAGIC TRIVIA: Peggy Shannon was promoted as the new "It Girl" when cast by Paramount in 1931 to replace Clara Bow for The Secret Call. Despite an abundance of talent and charm, her career was tragically cut short. She died at age 34 from a heart attack caused by acute alcoholism, and her husband, Albert G. Roberts, committed suicide by gunshot three weeks later.
