The Outer Gate - 1937 ***

 
'The Outer Gate' works very well for what it is - a simple story and plot acted very well. The premise is revenge, and what happens when you get tarred with the same brush .
Bob has been working for his girlfriend's father John for a while now, and feels he is effectively part of the family, so when someone embezzles a lot of money, Bob can't quite believe it when John accuses him of the crime and he is sent to jail for a number of years. Fast forward to his release, and Bob is still feeling hurt and angry after John's betrayal. John, feeling bad, tells Bob he now trusts him completely, but Bob isn't about to forgive him anytime soon.
Well acted, easy storyline to follow, solid performances.
