Reception

Frank Nugent of The New York Times said, "Filmed at Annapolis with—as the announcement proclaims — the "cheerful cooperation" of the academy, the photoplay's backgrounds are colorful. Besides Sir Guy, the other members of the cast are insignificant, but there are good performances by Tom Brown as the impudent middy, by John Howard (a comparative newcomer) as his elder brother, and Louise Beavers as Commander Fitzhugh's housekeeper. A complete summary would be that the film is extremely sentimental, familiar in pattern but exceedingly well-made for all that." [2]

Crime Does Not Pay was an MGM anthology crime film series of shorts that ran from 1935 to 1947. Each episode was around 20 minutes in length and composer-conductor John Gart provided the music. Each installment began with an actor appearing as "your MGM crime reporter" introducing a law-enforcement official, who would inform the audience of a current criminal trend sweeping the country: drunk driving, underage crime, unscrupulous businessmen, scam artists, and so on. A case history of one such example would be shown. The approach was always dramatic with sobering, ironic, or bleak outcomes, from arrest and incarceration to disfigurement and death.
