The World Gone Mad (also released as The Public Be Hanged) is a 1933 American Pre-Code crime film directed by Christy Cabanne and starring Pat O'Brien, Evelyn Brent and Neil Hamilton. It was made on a low-budget by the independent Majestic Pictures, a Poverty Row forerunner of Republic Pictures.

Synopsis

When a district attorney who has been investigating a utility company's directors for fraud is suddenly killed, his wisecracking newspaperman friend (Pat O'Brien) gets curious. He and the upstanding new district attorney (Neil Hamilton) separately pursue the case. Cultivated but sinister businessmen, a shady nightclub owner specializing in "import and export", several beautiful young women always seen in evening gowns, a "Latin lover" type who reads Casanova and an abundance of suave men in evening dress provide eye-candy for the duration.

La formule Grand Hôtel qui était si surchargé de travail dans les années 1930 a fait une apparition encore dans Escape to Glory 1940. L'histoire est donnée en temps opportun en plaçant les personnages sur un navire marchand britannique le jour même que la Seconde Guerre mondiale est déclarée. Le navire est attaqué par un nazi U-Boat, ce qui entraîne dans une variété de réactions des divers passagers - dont l'un (Erwin Kalser) est un médecin allemand. Constance Bennett est glamour, Pat O'Brien est boozy, John Halliday est pensive, et tout le monde (à l'exception du medico allemand) est simple peur.

Shamed and inspired by Donovan's forbearance, Plunkett redeems himself by fighting bravely. Finally he sacrifices his life to protect his comrades by covering a grenade with his body.
