American Madness
CrimeDramaMystery76 min
Over the course of one disastrous day, New York banker Thomas Dickson is hit from every side: his protégé is accused of robbing the bank, rumors spark a run on deposits, and evidence points to trouble in his marriage. Walter Huston is Dickson, a lender whose willingness to back struggling customers puts him at odds with his own board, while Pat O'Brien's chief teller Matt Brown tries to steady the staff as panic spreads. Directed by Frank Capra in the pre-Code era, American Madness keeps its focus on the bank floor and Dickson's inner circle as boardroom pressure, public fear, and private scandal collide.
