The legendary John Ford directs the 1935 crime comedy The Whole Town’s Talking from a sparkling screenplay by Jo Swerling and Robert Riskin.

The film stars Edward G. Robinson (The Stranger) in double roles as a mild-mannered clerk and a notorious gangster who happen to look remarkably alike. Trouble, of course, ensues, along with a delightful screwball romance featuring the inimitable Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington).

The Whole Town’s Talking is based on a story by W. R. Burnett, who also wrote the source material for Robinson’s breakthrough film, the 1931 gangster classic Little Caesar.
