    The Empire State Building was only one year old at the time of this film. The lobby scenes were filmed in the actual lobby of the building.
    Manhattan in the 30's must have been quite a place.

    At first I was a bit ambivalent about this movie but I'm really glad that I gave it a chance. It was a window in to what many people were going through during the Great Depression. Absolutely marvelous. Also, it was amazing to me young Walter Brennan.

    One of the best Poverty Row features produced. For some, that isn't saying much but the film, in fact, is the only one Remington ever made! It was distributed by the equally tiny Ideal Pictures. Mary Brian actually is quite good in it and "the boss" is one we've all met at least once in our lives.

      Really good cast , including Brian, Jed Prouty , Hale Hamilton, Noel Francis, Nydia Westman , and poor Hall who claimed by drink before he was 40, iirc. All of them had Major Studio experience. Not sure who played the boss, " Mr. Burns" , but he was also very able.

    I loved all the cinematic cuts and swipes and different angle views. The women were great. The men were heroic-comical and the villain-comical-tragic. Entertaining but a dark look at human nature. And ends in a moment of poverty and hope.

    Second time I watch this movie, thank you all commentators because your comments made me focus this time on interesting details (the charabanc, the cricket clikers, the art déco environment, etc...). Mary Brian is very beautiful, I want to see her in other films. I love this precode period, which has much to say to our present days. Et bien sûr, un grand merci à M. Pizzaflix, cela va sans dire !

    Thanks for posting this film. Some of these pre code films dealt with adult themes. The idea being that the common folk, the movie going public, would be intrigued by the back stories, the underground goings on n the lives of theory's, particularly in the city, among the wealthy. As the depression grew worse, say, 32, 33, 34, the public wanted to see the wealthy pay a price for the mis management of the economy. Thus, comics as the Three Stooges became huge starting around 34,35, by throwing pies at the rich, ruining their homes, their institutions etc. films about the underdog, poor guy who was up against the system were hits!

    Manhattan Tower is dramatic, intense, humorous and definitely, fascinating. I'm glad this was posted! For those who enjoyed watching it, please check out the 1932 film, Skyscraper Souls. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corp. The story is equally dramatic, daring, quite scandalous and Yes, there's humor as well. The fictitious, 100 story Art Deco Style, Seacoast National Bank Building in New York City is where everything happens. Skyscraper Souls is available on the 2 DVD, 4 Pre-Code Hollywood film set, Forbidden Hollywood Archive Collection: Volume 7. All 4 presented titles are beautifully restored, and very bold for their time.

      Thank you! I really appreciate cast lists without searching through Wikipedia and imdb.
      One great thing about the studio system was the fact that the players were contracted. Even if the films weren't good the actors still had work.
      So I recognize many. Which is neither here nor there...
      I just enjoy movies from the late '20s until the early '60s and I enjoy dialogs with others. 💃🕴🌃🏙🎬🎞📽

      The Great Depression? 1932 was the depth of the despair and starvation. How can you possibly be that ignorant, or were you making a joke? They didn't turn a profit on the Empire State Building for many years, either.

      @@tonysimmons647, $7 a week back then was equal to $134.25 a week today, not very good money. But still better than how many were back then, your grandfather was lucky he got that. The depression times were tougher than anything anybody ever deals with today. Today, even if you're broke, there are food pantries which usually give you bread, peanut butter, a few pieces of fruit, several different canned goods (vegetables, fruit, and maybe spaghettios), a box of mac and cheese or hamburger helper, and a choice of meat to choose from at many of them (1 lb pack of chicken, or ground beef, or etc.). Back then, there were the bread lines, and all that they literally gave you was 2 slices of plain bread, literally that was all. Some also gave you a cup of coffee too if you were lucky. If making $7 a week, you would've been able to eat more than just bread. Probably, depending on what you owed for other expenses, but you probably could afford several pieces of fruit and vegetables, one loaf of bread, some milk, butter, eggs, and probably one lb of meat per week, but no more than that, if earning $7 a week in the early 1930s
