My Take
Warren William is one of those names that deserves rediscovery. Crowned the "King of Pre-Code," he embodied the sly, morally slippery leading men of early sound cinema, back when Hollywood still had a wicked glint in its eye. I find that era endlessly fascinating, and actors like him carried it. There is something poignant about a man who earned a star on the Walk of Fame yet faded from memory after his death in 1948. From small-town Aitkin, Minnesota to silver-screen stardom is a classic arc. I would happily spend an evening with his films.
