Thank goodness for private film collections.
This is a film long thought lost. Anybody interested in its discovery is encouraged to read about it on the Chicago Film Archive site, dated August 3, 2020, so I won't repeat the details.
The movie concerns two brothers, one good-for-nothing blackmailing the virtuous one, because they both love the same gorgeous dame.
Sylvia Beamer is the love interest and she's definitely worth dying for.
Frank Mayo effectively portrays psychological torment so he had me along for the entire ride.
CFA not only brought this film back from the dead, they commissioned a score by Quasar Wut-Wut. They contributed a fresh, contemporary soundtrack that add a kinetic propulsion to the images.
All in all, a rousing film.
Thank you, TCM, for showing it.
