Today I Hang

Walter Woolf King plays an innocent man convicted of murder and facing the hangman's (or is it hangperson's) noose. Appearing in this film should have been punishment enough.

There are no surprises, and the killer's identity is obvious from the start, so there is no suspense. Mona Barrie plays the dead man's wife, who also happens to be King's former squeeze. She helps solve the murder, but does not solve the mystery of why she would act in this film. The aging William Farnum plays the prison warden; he looks like somebody propped him up for his scenes. The inept musical score is ripped off from the East Side Kids movies.

King is okay in his part, but I can't watch him without picturing him singing an aria while Harpo Marx destroys the scenery behind him.

Everyone associated with this bomb should have been sent to the gallows.
