About Underworld
A young Southern college student falls for the charms of a female nightclub owner while on summer break in Chicago - and soon enough meets her club co-owner boyfriend and his gangster pals.
Directed by Oscar Micheaux, Underworld leans on a strong ensemble — Bee Freeman, Sol Johnson, 'Slick' Chester — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1937.
