He Was Her Man, 1934 - ★★★

A strange film that feels more like something from the Post-war period than the pre-Code era. Especially considering, given its co-stars of Cagney & Blondell, who had already done a handful of movies together, we have going into this an expectation of something lighter and funnier. This is slow and something of a downer. The ending packs a punch. 

I wonder who thought it would make a good film for its two leads. They’re underserved. Still, its uniqueness is certainly a benefit to it and it has its moments.
