Big Brown Eyes is a 1936 crime/detective film. In the film, police officer Danny Barr (Cary Grant) is chasing jewel robbers. His girlfriend Eve Fallon (Joan Bennett) is initially working as a manicurist, but quickly takes a job as a reporter assisting in the effort against the jewel thieves. Fallon and Barr become disgusted when one jewel gang member is acquitted, and both leave their jobs. Soon thereafter, Fallon gets a lucky break while giving a manicure and the case is solved.

Synopsis

Eve Fallon, une manucure, est amoureuse de l'inspecteur de police Danny Barr, et devient jalouse lorsqu'il enquête sur le vol des bijoux de M Cole. Celle-ci confie la récupération de ses bijoux à Richard Morey, un racketteur qui se fait passer pour un détective privé. Dan tente d'expliquer à Eve la nature de ses relations avec M Cole, mais elle refuse de le croire. Licenciée de son salon de coiffure, elle trouve un travail comme journaliste grâce à un de ses amis, Jack Sully. Morey retrouve ses acolytes, Russ Cortig et Benny Battle, et leur ordonne de rencontrer les voleurs, Carey et Don Butler, dans le parc et de leur offrir 40 000 $ pour la marchandise. Les Butler repoussent cette offre, les bijoux étant assurés pour 200 000 $. Une bagarre s'ensuit et les Butler s'enfuient après avoir frappé Cortig, qui tire dans leur direction, tuant accidentellement un bébé dans sa poussette. Dan est chargé de l'enquête et, après avoir trouvé une liste des bijoux volés près de la scène de crime, fait le lien entre les deux affaires. Eve se réconcilie avec Dan et interroge Bessie, un témoin, qui lui donne la description de Battle, qu'elle connaît car il a flirté avec elle. Après que Bessie a formellement identifié Battle sur une photo, Dan l'arrête, mais Bessie est menacée par les hommes de Morey et refuse de l'identifier lors d'une confrontation. Pour pousser Battle à avouer, Eve écrit un article annonçant qu'il s'est déjà mis à table, article qui fait la une. Lorsque Battle est relâché de prison, Eve tire en l'air avec l'arme de Dan et Battle, effrayé, retourne dans la prison pour tout avouer. Cortig est arrêté aussi, mais un alibi de circonstance l'innocente lors du procès. Eve démissionne du journal car on ne lui permet pas de continuer à enquêter sur Cortig, et Dan en fait autant pour pouvoir s'occuper de Cortig à sa façon. Eve, redevenue manucure, reçoit des cartes postales de Dan de divers endroits de la côte Est. Elle révèle à Morey, sans savoir qu'il est impliqué, que Dan est à la poursuite de Cortig. Morey charge alors ses hommes de se débarrasser de Cortig en échange de sa part de l'affaire des bijoux. Après le départ de Morey, Eve remarque l'empreinte de son pouce et se rappelle que la police est à la recherche d'un homme avec une cicatrice à ce doigt. Elle transmet alors l'empreinte à la police. Dan de retour à New York finira par arrêter Morey et Carey, et fera sa demande en mariage à Eve.

In this wisecracking comedy, Dan Dolan (Spencer Tracy) is a cop whose beat is the New York waterfront. Dan has a soft spot for Helen Riley (Joan Bennett), a sharp-tongued waitress at a cheap diner, while her scatter-brained sister Kate (Marion Burns) is in love with Duke Castage (George Walsh), a sleazy low-level mobster. While Duke makes a play for Kate, both Helen and Dan know that he's bad news, and Dan wants to put Duke behind bars before he can break Kate's heart. Me and My Gal was directed by Raoul Walsh, one of the great craftsmen of the studio system -- and also the brother of George Walsh, who plays the villain.

In 1890s San Francisco, boxing is illegal. James J. Corbett (Errol Flynn), a brash young bank teller, attends a match with his friend Walter Lowrie (Jack Carson). When a police raid nets Judge Geary, a member of the board of directors of Corbett's bank, Corbett's fast talking gets his superior out of trouble. The judge is looking to improve the image of boxing by recruiting men from more respectable backgrounds and having them fight under the Marquess of Queensberry rules. He has even imported British coach Harry Watson (Rhys Williams) to evaluate prospects. Watson finds that Corbett, raised in a combative Irish immigrant family headed by Pat Corbett (Alan Hale), has excellent fighting skills; Geary likes his protégé's seemingly-polished manner.
