Jewel Robbery (1932)

This offers the best of Pre-Code films: philandering, drug use, and ‘bad’ people not getting their comeuppance. William Powell is a gentleman robber who catches the already wandering eye of rich and married Kay Francis. She is beautiful, he is oozing charisma, and together they have wonderful chemistry. There’s not much to the story, but it doesn’t overstay its rather short runtime.
