6,000 Enemies

6,000 ENEMIES (1939) - May 1, 2011
An entertaining film about a tough DA who gets framed for bribery by a crime boss, and who winds up in the same prison with hundreds of criminals who he has personally put away.  The film was pretty enjoyable and featured some inventive direction by George B. Seitz, but at just over an hour long it's probably too short, which is certainly a complaint I don't frequently have.  Many of the film's events unfold somewhat abruptly; a little more time to set everything up probably would have helped.  **1/2
