I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The greatest movie ever made..!

Dreadfully Boring

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

. . . upon American Women, as the always prophetic Warner Bros. warn We Americans of (The Then) Far Future of the sort of HANDMAID'S TALE-like backlash doubtless in store for the female half of the U.S. Populace IF distaff dictators push their witch hunt PURGE of Real Life leaders such as Al, Roy, Charlie, Dustin, Richard, Woody, and Garrison any further. Everyone knows that women lived on a Real Life pedestal in the Early 1900s, when MANPOWER was made. Yet this flick begins with "Hank McHenry" manhandling his "taxi dancer," and the entire male cast is frequently shown "goosing" hospital nurses before "Johnnie Marshall" punches "Fay Duval" so hard in her face that she collapses in a heap! Though MANPOWER's contemporary audiences must have been stunned and totally perplexed by these then unheard-of events, Warner was primarily addressing the Ladies of Today's 2018 America. Warner advises these Modern Chicks that there's a Time and a Place for everything, and U.S. Men have NO intention of fading away quietly into the night (like the dudes who've gone AWOL on WONDER WOMAN's home island). Sociologists estimate that 80% of U.S. Men have copped some sort of feel during the past 10, 25, or 40 years (not to mention 96% of Women, when predator roles are reversed). None of these past hijinks will appear seemly under the glare of Today's Women-dominated media, Warner senses in MANPOWER. If the chick flick folks insist upon purging ALL of these guys, the resulting vacuum of Good Guys will invite a wave of New Founding Fathers whose rules will make Allred's life seem like a pleasant picnic by way of comparison, MANPOWER forecasts.

...it is pretty much a remake of 1932's "Tiger Shark", with the same star - Edward G. Robinson - playing the exact same part as the well-meaning but naive cuckold in this tragic love triangle. If this was the story's first time out I'd probably give it an 8.This one is worth watching because the story is fleshed out better and is a better overall movie than the original, which is unusual for a production code era remake of a precode film. The other stars will certainly be better known to most people than the original. Hank (Robinson) and Johnny (George Raft) are workers on the power lines. One night while working on the high wires, Hank saves Johnny's life, but becomes lame in one leg as a result. The power company rewards Hank by promoting him to supervisor. Meanwhile, fellow power line repairman"Pop" Duval is letting his recently paroled daughter Fay (Marlene Dietrich) stay at his house while she gets back on her feet. Fay uses those feet to walk to the nearest clip joint and get a job as a house girl - someone who flirts with bar patrons and encourages them to run up big tabs. It is implied that the girls give the guests other services as well, but in the production code era this as far as the insinuation goes.Meanwhile, Hank gets out of the hospital and is instantly smitten by Fay. When her own father is killed in a job-related accident, Hank takes it upon himself to take care of her. He gives her gifts and asks her to marry him. Fay figures that even though she doesn't love Hank that maybe this is her one shot at going straight. Meanwhile, Johnny sees right through Fay and doesn't like the view. He doesn't want to see Hank get hurt, and is always on Fay's case, before and after the marriage. However, during this eagle eye vigil, Johnny and Fay accidentally fall in love, Hank walks in on their first embrace and believes it to be one of many and "sparks fly" if you'll forgive the expression.In this story you get to see the relationships develop and build between the main characters since the movie is 30 minutes longer than 1932's "Tiger Shark", plus the production values are better and also you now have those wonderful Warner supporting players fleshing things out - Alan Hale and Frank McHugh - that weren't around in 1932. Recommended even if you've already seen "Tiger Shark".

**SPOILERS** 1941 "Buddy Buddy" movie that has best of friends linemen Hank McHenry, Edward G, Robinson, and Johnny Marshall, George Raft, end up on he outs over a woman the sexy and cold as an iceberg Fay Duval, Marlene Dietrich, who by a series of unexpected circumstances came between them.It all started so innocently with Fay's father lineman Antoine "Pops" Duval, Egon Brecher, having Johnny, who seemed to have an in with the local parole board, getting his troublesome daughter Fay sprung from prison while serving time on a pickpocket conviction. Meeting Fay outside the prison walls Johnny knew her racket, using men to get her way, but the love-sick and very impressionable Hank, Johnny's foreman at the State Bureau Power and Light, fell heads over heels for her. That's when Johhny and Hank told Fay the sad news that her father -Pops Duval- got electrocuted on the job by a fallen power line. The first thing that struck Johnny about Fay was how unfeeling she was when she heard of her fathers tragic death. As for Hank he was completely captivated by her cool and sexy personality.Even with Fay working as a bar-girl and singer at Smiley Quinn's, Burton MacLane, clip-joint-The Midnight Club- didn't deter Hank from proposing marriage to her. Things seemed to go all right for the happily married couple until Johnny suffered a fall, while on the job, that laid him up in a hospital bed for months. It's then at Hank's insistence that Johnny was reluctantly made to stay at the McHenry house, for a few weeks convalescence, that things started going sour for everyone, Hank Johnny & Fay, involved!Despite Fay having the hots for him Johnny couldn't betray his good friend Hank by having an affair with her. It's when Fay planned to leave Hank and go back to work as a bar-girl that Johnny finally put his foot down. As well as flooring Fay with a couple of well placed smacks! This all happened when Fay was arrested-in a police raid- at Smiley's joint-The Midnight Club-where she came back to look for work. Johnny attempt to keep Fay's arrest, as well as her walking out on him, from Hank soon backfires when Fay herself told her shocked and startled husband, who always thought she was in love with him, the truth about how she felt about him!***SPOILER ALERT*** The tragic ending to the film "Manpower" had a deeply hurt Hank try to finish off his good friend Johnny at the top of a power grid in a driving rain-pour. Not being able to keep his balance, due to an on the job injury, Hank's attempt to do in Johnny fell apart together with himself. All this wasn't Johnny's fault but he still felt bad about what happened and the end of the movie he showed it. Which was by him not leaving his job, that Johnny planned to do, and take off with Fay. But instead go on living, and working, as if all of this had never happened!

A movie directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Edward G. Robinson, Marlene Dietrich and George Raft. Robinson and Raft play electricans who work on power lines and Dietrich plays the daughter of an old electrician who just got out of jail. Raft doesn't think much of Dietrich but Robinson falls for her pretty fast and wants to marry her. Raft tries to talk him out of it and he won't listen. Dietrich doesn't love Robinson but he talks her into it. She quits her job at the nightclub and moves in with Robinson. This is probably the only movie which has guys working on power lines and this movie also stars Ward Bond and Alan Hale as fellow electricians.Robinson and Dietrich do a pretty good job and Raft was never a very good actor but he is OK here.
