Hunted Men

The plot follows notorious racketeer Joe Albany, who kills James Flowers upon discovering embezzlement in their club. After a tense escape, Joe ends up hiding in the car of hardware salesman Peter Harris, who is too intoxicated to realize the danger he is in. Joe deceives Peter, convincing him he is Charles Edwards, and accompanies him to his suburban home.

As the story unfolds, Joe's presence complicates Peter's family dynamics. His wife, Mary, and their children, Robert and Jane, are unaware of the truth about their guest. The film encapsulates the tension and suspense of the crime genre, typical of late 1930s cinema. With a strong cast including Lloyd Nolan and Lynne Overman, Hunted Men offers a glimpse into the gritty world of gangsters during this era.
