"CITY OF SILENT MEN" (1942)
Synopsis: The
peace of a small town with a forward-looking mayor spills over into
mob action in this worthwhile drama about helping ex-convicts get
back on their feet. Albertson and Lynn are released from prison
and are promptly shunned by society until Gould, the mayor, puts
them to work running a cannery that had been closed down due to
lack of manpower. Other ex-cons join the venture and all goes well
until a mean newspaperman whips up the town against the men. Mob
action follows, and an attempt at a lynching, but all is resolved
with the cannery getting a war contract, pleasing everybody.
