Episode 640: Black Legion (1937)

Episode 640: Black Legion (1937)

Otto Bruno and Rahne Alexander join Mike to discuss the 1937 Archie Mayo film, Black Legion. Based loosely on the actual racist terrorist organization from Detroit, the film stars Humphrey Bogart as Frank Taylor, a man who gets passed over for a promotion by one of those darned immigrants. He does the only thing that makes sense by joining a hate group and trying to bolster his manhood with violence.

Special guest Tom Stanton talks about his book, Terror in the City of Champions: Murder, Baseball, and the Secret Society that Shocked Depression-era Detroit , which looks at the highs and lows of 1930s Detroit.
