Movie Info

Produced by the same team responsible for MGM's Crime Does Not Pay short subjects, Main Street After Dark is an energetic crime melodrama with a topical wartime theme. The film's criminal element is a family of pickpockets, who've been fleecing visiting servicemen. The crooks are challenged by a civic clean-up committee, and are brought to justice by the time the film's allotted 57 minutes have run their course. Only MGM could produce a "B" picture with a star lineup including Edward Arnold,

Unrated, 57 min.

This is nothing more, really, than a feature-length 'Crime Does Not Pay' film which lacks both the interest and the tingle of its briefer counterparts.

This snappy crime B film was made by the same people who made MGM's Crime Does Not Pay series.
