Los Angeles: First National Pictures, 1933. Vintage reference photograph from the 1933 pre-Code film. Shown is Ann Hovey as she is attacked after stowing away on a train by Ward Bond, playing against type as a villainous railroad worker. The rape is not only attempted but takes place, a radical element even in a pre-Code film. A film that has held up well, in that it breaks the stereotype of hobos as nothing more than restless drifters
