About The Mad Game
Bootlegger Ed Carson is sent to prison. His old gang turns from liquor (now legal) to kidnapping. When they nab the son and daughter-in-law of the judge who sent Carson to prison, he is paroled to help in the capture.
Directed by Irving Cummings, The Mad Game leans on a strong ensemble — Spencer Tracy, Claire Trevor, Ralph Morgan — 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 1933.
