Description
"In Black Legion an intelligent expose of the Ku Kux Klan, he plays Frank Taylor an ambitious worker who gets passed over for promotion. The man who gets the job has an Eastern European name, fueling Taylor's rage and resentment. He's ripe for a xenophobic message delivered via radio. 'We the challengers have raised our rallying cry. America for Americans' the real one hundred percent Americans must stop and think. He who is not with us is against us.' Taylor passes the word to his young son - blames the long lines of unemployed on foreigners, and becomes a hooded and murderous fascist. Caught by police, he gets nailed with a life sentence."
Bogie got great notices, with the press (wrongly predicting) that his career would soar. The New York Post proclaimed that there would be 'No more B pix for Bogart!.'"
