"Man to man"- A crime of passion.



Dwight Frye as Vint Glade in "Man to man" 1930.

After the Hardinville police initially accuse Mike Bolton and his father John of stealing two thousand dollars from the town bank, Vint (Dwight) is brought in to the police station upon Emily's insistence. With a plan to present false witness against Vint, Emily feels certain that she can make him confess to the crime. And confess he does, admitting to taking the money only to make Mike Bolton look bad in Emily's eyes, Vint pours out his heart to the entire room.

This is easily Dwight's best part in the film. When he cries out that he loves Emily you honestly believe that this situation is really happening to him. He was brilliant.
