i find this a very enjoyable early crime drama . student of the genre will want to compare this to little caesar and or or the front page . transition within scene and from one scene to another flow well in the racket than in many other silent film . i agree with early comment about the new scoring . there be too much brass and too much forte . the film itself be about 83 minute long and much long than we think during the 76 year that it be out of circulation . the restoration job on the film be one of the best that i have see and especially for a film as old a this one be . i hope it be release soon on dvd .
