From Headquarters is a 1933 crime drama film that follows the story of a young detective named Jim Grant, played by George Brent, as he tries to solve a series of murders that have been plaguing New York City. With the help of a dedicated reporter, Linda Lawrence, played by Margaret Lindsay, Jim navigates the dangerous streets of the city and uncovers a complex web of corruption and deceit.

At the heart of the story are a series of brutal killings, all of which seem to follow a similar pattern. Each victim is a wealthy man with ties to the criminal underworld, and each is killed in a manner that suggests a carefully planned and executed crime. As Jim and Linda investigate further, they discover that there may be a link between the murders and a shady gambling racket that has been operating in the city.

Along the way, Jim and Linda face numerous obstacles, including corrupt police officers, powerful gamblers, and a mysterious woman who seems to be pulling the strings behind the scenes. Together, they must use all their skills and resources to uncover the truth and bring the killers to justice.

One of the standout performances in the film comes from Eugene Pallette, who plays the gruff but lovable police captain who mentors Jim. Pallette brings a depth and complexity to his character, and his interactions with Brent are both entertaining and emotionally resonant.

Throughout the film, director William Dieterle cultivates a sense of tension and suspense, building up to a dramatic finale that is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. He also does an excellent job of capturing the gritty atmosphere of 1930s New York City, with its dark alleyways, bustling nightlife, and seedy underworld.

Despite its age, From Headquarters remains a compelling and engaging drama, featuring memorable performances, strong writing, and excellent direction. It is a testament to the enduring power of classic cinema and a must-see for fans of crime dramas and film noir.

From Headquarters is a 1933 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 4 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.3.
