 |
Joe Morris (Garry Cooper) is more a clown
than an evil mind. He's just an East End thug, desiring more power,
money, and belong to a better and bigger gang. Hannay bluffs him
telling he leads a West End gang. As he wants to join them, Hannay
gives him stupid jobs like waiting all night for someone who will never
arrive, etc. |
