they make me a criminal be a remake of an early warner brother film and the life of jimmy dolan which star douglas fairbanks and jr. a the prizefighter on the lam . even with the restriction now upon production by the hay office and this remake actually turn out to be good than the original . douglas fairbanks and jr. and be horribly miscast a a pugilist . john garfield with his background and style step into a part he be bear to play . they make me a criminal be direct by busby berkeley who jack warner believe in keep busy in between musical . berkeley in fact would soon be leave warner brother for mgm . berkeley do do a fine job here and keep the action flow at a good pace . i particularly like the scene where four of the dead end kid and garfield be swim in a water tank and get strand there when the water level go down . they get it out of it quite narrowly and with some good ingenuity . other performance besides garfield and the kid to remember be may robson who run the summer camp for the kid and claude rain a the obsessed detective on garfield trail .
