About On Thin Ice
A crook and his gang plan to con a young woman out of a cache of stolen loot they, and the police, believe she's hiding. The situation changes, however, when he falls in love with her and he sets out to save her from being imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit.
Directed by Malcolm St. Clair, On Thin Ice leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Moore, Edith Roberts, William Russell — 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 1925.
