Genres: Drama
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Beverly Roberts, Claire Dodd
Two Against the World, also known as One Fatal Hour, is a 1936 melodrama film directed by William C. McGann and starring Humphrey Bogart, Beverly Roberts and Linda Perry. The film is based on the 1930 play Five Star Final by Louis Weitzenkorn and is a much shorter remake of the film Five Star Final (1931), which stars Edward G. Robinson. The main setting has been moved from a newspaper to a nationwide radio network whose owner, Bertram Reynolds, hungry for larger audiences, decides "in the name of public good" to revive the memory of a twenty-year-old murder case, with tragic consequences. The cynical manager of programming, Sherry Scott, has a crisis of conscience when faced with the deadly results.
