Let Us Live 35MM
LET US LIVE (1939) 68 min. D: John Brahm. Former convict “Brick” Tennant (Henry Fonda) is an Honest-John cabbie who is mistakenly identified with a friend as the perpetrators of a murderous bank robbery on the eve of his marriage. Can his bride (Maureen O’Sullivan) and a crusading detective (Ralph Bellamy) save Fonda from the machinations of a remorseless justice system railroading him into the death house? Inspired by the infamous Sacco & Vanzetti case, this overlooked gem is expertly helmed by émigré director John Brahm (Hangover Square, The Locket), scripted by Anthony Veiller and Allen Rivkin and shot by Lucien Ballard. Despite its age, this picture continues to pack a dramatic punch. Shown in 35mm
