	DOUBLE FEATURE- "Blood Money" (1933)starring George Bancroft and Blossom Seeley, and "Pleasure Cruise" (1933) starring Genevieve Tobin, with Roland Young and Ralph Forbes Blood Money (1933 - 66 min) George Bancroft's tough bailbondsman has no qualms cheating little old ladies out of their life savings in Blood Money, a surprisingly violent pre-code gangster thriller. "I make all my money from losers," Bancroft snarls at one point. Accompanied by legendary chanteuse Blossom Seeley's version of "Melancholy Baby," this Fox production veers dangerously into Warner Bros. territory and you half expect James Cagney and Joan Blondell to turn up. They don't of course, but instead you do get Frances Dee and Chick Chandler, not to mention a dangerous-looking Judith Anderson, and that in itself packs quite a punch. Dee, especially, is a revelation, proposing to Bancroft that she needs "someone to give me a good thrashing." Bancroft, meanwhile, enjoys his best role since Underworld (1927) and the climax is as exciting as anything anyone could have conjured up. Pleasure Cruise (1933 - 72 min) enevieve Tobin plays the bored wife of novelist Roland Young, who, after an argument with her spouse, decides to leave for a while and sets out on a pleasure cruise, hoping for a romance. She meets suave but sly playboy Ralph Forbes, and thinks it is he who visits her in her cabin in the dead of night, but it turns out to be her husband, who had used his pull with the owner of the shipping line to get a job as an on-board barber, so that he could keep an eye on his spouse. An entertaining morality play with a few fun twists and turns. Our Price: $20.00 Product Code: PRE3
