Lots of stock footage to pad out the proceedings and little in the way of earnest emoting from the cast. THE PHANTOM CREEPS was also Lugosi's fifth and final serial.

They Call It Sin (1932) Trailer

They Call It Sin


They Call It Sin is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film starring Loretta Young as a farmer's daughter who follows a traveling salesman to New York City, only to discover he is already engaged.

Watch the Trailer!



An enticing trio of suave silver screen seducers lies at the heart of this fourth collection of pre-Code sensations whose subject matter would soon be forbidden by the infamous Production Code. William Powell, Kay Francis and David Manners prove that sophistication and sexiness once walked hand in hand -- ably abetted (and abedded!) by the likes of Joan Blondell, Loretta Young and George Brent. Powell headlines in Jewel Robbery and Lawyer Man, while his Jewel costar Francis works late with David Manners in Man Wanted (all three directed by cinema maestro William Dieterle), who in turn teaches innocent Loretta Young just why They Call It Sin. From the simply frank to the jaw-droppingly shocking, this forbidden foursome promises nights of delight.
