<<In 1930, Tracy appeared in two low-budget short
films:
TAXI TALKS, as a gangster, and HARD GUY, as a World War I
veteran. But
the films were unimpressive and Tracy still struggled until
The Last
Mile. Playing killer John Mears in this Broadway crime drama,
Tracy had
his first major success.>>
Thank you, James! Now we need a super-specialized walking or
paper
encyclopedia who can tell us what the plot of _The Last Mile_
is. Free
association suggests a hit-and-run murder...
By the way, has anyone seen the shorts mentioned or _Up the
River_? I've
seen large retrospectives of John Ford's films, but I am
quite sure I've
never seen this one.

Mario Taboada
