The Racketeer (1929)
With Hedda Hopper, Carole Lombard, Robert Armstrong, John Loder, Paul Hurst, Winter Hall, Bobby Dunn
Directed by Howard Higgin
The Racketeer is a 1929 American Pre-Code drama film. Directed by Howard Higgin, the film is also known as Love's Conquest in the United Kingdom. It tells the tale of some members of the criminal class in 1920s America, and in particular one man and one woman's attempts to help him. Gossip columnist Hedda Hopper appears in a minor role. The film is one of the early talkies, and as a result, dialogue is very sparse.
