Storyline:] The early 50s film set in upstate New York, a period piece that reflects its imes, was actually a remake of Josef von Sternberg""s downbeat 1931 film (with the original titleAn American Tragedy), starring Sylvia Sidney, Phillips Holmes, and Frances Dee.There was also an earlier WWII-era escapist musical titledAtlantic City (1944)- a highly fictionalized account of AC""s rise as a vacation and convention destination during and after WWI.You""ve got to, to find a good one.Back there, it""s pretty well cleaned out.But I found me a beauty.Worth 50 bucks any day.Just then the whole floor caved in under me.I guess maybe hey didn""t want me to have it...The Indian dead.They""re all around here.This is a tomb, mister, with mummies 400 years old.They used o bury them here with these jars alongside, you know, full of corn and wampum...I guess maybe they""ve been watchin"" me all the time I""ve been takin"" things outta here and got mad.Tatum maneuvered Herbie""s camera to get two photos of the trapped victim, holding up the urn - so that he could print he story in theAlbuquerqueSun-Bulletinpaper - a feature article that he had already begun to create in his mind.To add realism, it was filmed over 36 days on-location in Hoboken, New Jersey (in the cargo holds of ships, workers"" slum dwellings, the bars, the littered alleys, and on the rooftops).There was a short ending sequence where Clark gave jerk trainer Paul his come-uppance by tossing him a heavy barbell.
