Johnny One-EyeJohnny One-Eye was adapted from one of
Damon Runyon's lesser-known stories. Pat O'Brien and
Wayne Morris star as Martin Martin and Dane Cory respectively, former partners in crime who have long since split up. When a new district attorney puts the heat on, Cory, anxious to save his own hide, accuses Martin of an unsolved murder. Holed up in abandoned house, Martin is befriended by a little girl (
Gayle Reed) and her dog. It so happens that the girl is the daughter of the crusading DA, and thereby hangs the rest of this tale. Produced by
Benedict Bogeaus, Johnny One-Eye co-stars
Bogeaus' wife
Dolores Moran as a moll named Lily White. The film represented the last directorial assignment of
Robert Florey, who retired shortly afterward. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
