One Mile from Heaven

One Mile from Heaven

1937. USA. Directed by Allan Dwan. With Claire Trevor, Fredi Washington, Bill Robinson, Sally Blane. The last of the six Claire Trevor “snappy” vehicles Dwan made for Fox in the 1930s tests the limits of free expression on race in Hollywood while sometimes straining credulity. This was the last role in Washington’s brief film career, and Robinson transcends his “Bojangles” persona. 68 min.
