This Day and Age 1933
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille | Starring: Charles Bickford, Charles Middleton, Samuel S. Hinds, Billy Gilbert
A modern-day tale of gangsterism and revenge. After a notorious mobster murders a Jewish tailor and is let off for the crime, a band of outraged high-school students turns into vigilante crusaders hell-bent on punishing the wrongdoers. Memorable pre-Code moment: the students torturing a gangster by dangling him over a pit filled with rats.
