the entertaining 1932 Pre-Code crime-drama feature length motion picture classic titled...

"LOVE IS A RACKET"

Director: William Wellman

James Cagney was originally pegged to play brash Broadway columnist Jimmy Russell in this pleasant newspaper yarn, but when director William Wellman called "action," Douglas Fairbanks Jr. had replaced him. In love with pretty actress Mary Wodehouse (Frances Dee), Jimmy can only watch as gangster Eddie Shaw (Lyle Talbot) takes on the girl's mounting debt. Sending Jimmy on a wild goose chase to Atlantic City, Shaw then attempts to lure Mary to his penthouse but is instead confronted with the girl's gun-toting Aunt Hattie (Cecil Cunningham). Jimmy manages to escape Shaw's goons and arrives at Shaw's apartment just in time to watch Aunt Hattie hide the murder weapon. There is an attempt at a coverup, and the eventual ruling of the court reads suicide. The ambitious Mary, meanwhile, marries theatrical entrepreneur Max Boncour (André Luguet) and Jimmy vows to stay away from the "love racket" for good. Or at least until gal-pal Sally (Ann Dvorak) can convince him otherwise.

Although George Raft is listed in most credits for Love is a Racket, he is not in the surviving print.

The drama was retitled Such Things Happen for release in Great Britain, where the word "racket" meant something entirely different.
