Manhattan Melodrama

Manhattan Melodrama (1934) is a classic Hollywood crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director W.S. Van Dyke put Clark Gable, William Powell, and Myrna Loy together — and the trio clicked so well the studio kept casting them as a unit for years after.

Childhood friends Blackie (Gable) and Jim (Powell) grew up on opposite sides of the law: one runs a gambling racket, the other is gunning for governor. They still share a drink, still respect each other — and now they're in love with the same woman. Eleanor (Loy) is caught between them, and whatever she chooses, someone pays. A tight, unsentimental picture about loyalty and the cost of ambition. Stream Manhattan Melodrama (1934) on iFILM.
