Originally Banned 1931 Pre-Code Film Noir The Secret Six Wallace Beery Jean Harlow

Driected by George Hill. The Secret Six were, as without a doubt one of the most elite vigilante groups in U.S. history." Their members included the chairman of Sears, the President of the Association of Commerce, the head of the Chicago Bar Association, and perhaps even publisher and media mogul William Randolph Hearst. Overtly concerned with the increasing hold Al Capone and his racketeers held on Chicago, care for their own constricting business interests while gangsters held sway over the city was also a motivating factor. They may have raised over a million dollars for their own investigators, stool pigeons and wiretaps, certainly skirting legality in some cases.

Does anyone know who made this film? I'm guessing maybe Samuel Goldwyn?
-
Harlow's presence is always fabulous. The popular expression used to be "charisma." The folks who are nattering about her acting ability are, well . . .
-
I'm a shameless Jean Harlow fan. How I wish she could act even a little. Howard Hughes made this icon
-
The actor who looks like Kevin Costner is former football star Johnny Mack Brown. I hate to say this, but even Jean Harlow at her most wooden is more animated than Brown.
-
her acting in this is wooden., knock ,nock. . but she was good in other movies
-
@MarcBrewer Nope, sure doesn't.
-

Well, it could quite well be called crime or gangster, or perhaps even proto-noir. I am well aware of what film noir is, and the Breen and Hays crap and all that, and in fact recently worked a Noir City with the Film Noir Foundation. I just really wanted to cram as much info into the title here so an average person looking for pre-Codes that are noirish (and might not scale down their search to crime or gangster films) would be able to find it. An no, unfortunately, it is not on DVD.
