The Avenging Hand

Noah Beery as a Chicago gangster in England! And it's the type of production we're used to seeing Noah in ever since the dawn of sound. America or England, doesn't matter. It's a poverty row picture. Or rather it's British equivalent - a 'quota quickie'. A dull crime drama with very little action to break out of the silence. Only Beery really manages to becomes anything other then a one dimensional character with his joking mood. Still doesn't save The Avenging Hand from becoming forgettable.
