The Whole Town's Talking

"The most exciting picture in a decade..Inspired by the biggest front page sensation in recent years"

1935-02-22 Comedy 1hr 33m

Ordinary man-in-the-street Arthur Ferguson Jones leads a very straightforward life. He's never late for work and nothing interesting ever happens to him. One day everything changes: he oversleeps and is fired as an example, he's then mistaken for evil criminal killer Mannion and is arrested.
