Widow from Chicago

Alice White's brother gets killed.  Edward G. Robinson plays a nightclub owner mob boss.  She claims to be the wife of a gangster.  She's out to figure out who killed her brother.  Edward G. Robinson of course turned out to be the major star of this movie.  However Alice White is cute.  She didn't make too many films but she had a presence.  She's kind of like a blonde Clara Bow.

Libeled Lady

Myrna Loy is suing Spencer Tracey's newspaper.  So he lets his gal Jean Harlow and William Powell get married for his story.  William Powell gets to know Myrna Loy and her father.  He falls for her.  But what is she going to say about him being married?  The scene where William Powell fishes is hilarious.  This was a cute screwball comedy.
