Waterfront Lady (1935)

Ronny (Frank Albertson) is made a partner by the owner of a gambling boat. However when a gangster is killed during a police raid Ronny is on the run, having been set up by his boss. He pretends to be a mariner waiting for his fisherman friend.

He meets young Joan (Ann Rutherford) while looking after her drunk gambling father (J. Farrell MacDonald) and falls in love. Thus he decides to stay around despite the police still looking for him. Love begins to blossom but you just know what sooner or later Ronny's real identity will be revealed...

So it is quite predictable but an enjoyable film. A mix of crime drama and romance with some good performances including from Ann Rutherford in her first starring role.
