Money to Loan

"Money to Loan" is an unusually powerful episode of the "Crime Does Not Pay" series from MGM--a long series of short films that illustrate criminals in action and police apprehending these jerks. It begins with a long series of egregious behaviors by a seemingly legitimate loan company--behaviors that make them more like strong-arm loan sharks! In one case, a guy had made every payment on his car and only owed one more. He asked for an extension for until the weekend was over--and they agreed. When he went to get his car, they'd sold it! In another, they hired a lady to walk into a man's office and loudly badger him about the money in front of all his co-workers! And, in another, they caused a traffic accident! But it gets worse--and it's up to the police and district attorney to get evidence on these evil jerks.

Overall, the film illustrated its case very well and they constructed a very convincing and emotionally charged film. Well worth seeing and very well done.
