Police Bullets

1942 · 61 min

A brisk, lighthearted old-fashioned crime comedy that breezes by with wisecracks and a clever memory-gimmick plot.

Overview: A gangster running a protection racket gets information that he's about to be prosecuted on income-tax-evasion charges. He hires a man with a photographic memory to memorize his books, then destroys them all so the police won't have any evidence to link him to the racket.
How it feels: Light, satirical, cynical and tense. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, deception, corruption, memory
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
