Manhattan Melodrama 1934

One orphan becomes a reckless charmer, pursuing and seducing women without promise, always escaping consequence. The other takes a lawful path. Despite their diverging lives on opposite sides of the law, their bond survives, even as both fall in love with the same woman, testing their loyalty.
