Anecdotes
This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Its earliest documented Post WWII telecasts took place in Cincinnati Friday 30 September 1949 on WCPO (Channel 4), in Salt Lake City Wednesday 12 October 1949 on KDYL (Channel 4) and in Philadelphia Saturday 17 December 1949 on WCAU (Channel 10).

Silly at best...

"The Bad One" is a very early talking picture...one that really isn't very good even by 1930 standards. Its plot is ridiculous and it's one of Edmund Lowe's worst films.

Jerry (Lowe) is an American sailor in Marseille. There he meets and falls in love with Lita (Delores Del Rio)...a woman of apparently easy virtue. Despite this propensity to rent out her love, however, she does love Jerry and agrees to marry him. But just before they are married, Jerry catches one of Lita's tricks pawing her and he slugs the guy...killing him. As a result, he's sent overseas to prison...and now he hates her because he didn't realize her background nor that the man was one of her clients. What's next?

This is a pretty hard to believe film in many places...and it just feels dated and silly today. It's really sad, as Edmund Lowe was a really good actor but here he's miscast and trying to do his best with a rather poor script.
