Oscar-winning small-town drama about an ex-reporter turned drifter who arrives in a town where corruption is rife. Jailed for vagrancy, on release, he meets up with Vinnie McLeod, editor of the local paper and one of the few honest citizens in town. Together, they set about exposing the corruption, thanks to the revelations of dowager Majorie Main, a woman with a murky past but an honest heart.

TIME Magazine These pleasures would have been all but impossible to manufacture in any of the large studios, for they are given their warmth and life by the pleasure that the Cagneys' large cast and the whole production outfit [took in the film]. Jun 8, 2016 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Whatever elements of suspense, action and motivation the Louis Bromfield book, McLeod's Folly, may have held to attract the Cagney production staff, the screen treatment which has emerged is, for the most part, familiar melodrama.
