Night After Night (1932)

Paramount Pictures
Directed by Archie Mayo
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal)

Reformed gangster George Raft is the wealthy owner of a big city speakeasy. He falls in love with high society girl Constance Cummings and tries to impress her with his vocabulary and knowledge of world politics. His old girlfriend Mae West shows up and exposes his real personality. Undaunted, he shows up at Cummings' apartment to ask her to marry him, only to discover her real personality is even worse than his own. A change of heart in the final scene is both hurried and unconvincing.
