"Invisible Stripes" is a 1939 film about a gangster unable to go straight after returning home from prison. The movie features George Raft, William Holden, and Humphrey Bogart, and was directed by Lloyd Bacon.

Critical reaction

Time Out Film Guide calls Invisible Stripes "A thoroughly predictable tale of the tribulations of an ex-con." [ [http://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/76161/invisible-stripes.html Time Out Film Guide review] ] . A New York Times review from 1940 complained that there wasn't enough prison scenes in the movie. "Let us hasten in all gratitude to add that "Invisible Stripes" is a prison picture in which the stripes are much less visible than usual, most of the action being paroled to the outside in the capable custody of George Raft, Jane Bryan, William Holden and Humphrey Bogart. There are no jute mill scenes, no bullying guards, no big prison break sequence; in fact, we don't understand why they've suddenly commuted our sentence from the customary duration of the picture to a brief prison prelude, a mere graduating exercise at the beginning: good behavior, maybe." [ [http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9C00EEDE113EE23ABC4B52DFB766838B659EDE] New York Times review, January 13, 1940]

Plot

George Raft plays an ex-con who, since released from prison, finds it hard to find a job because of his criminal past. William Holden plays his brother who, following his older brother's footsteps, joins up with Charles Martin's (Humphrey Bogart) gang in an attempt to support himself and his girlfriend Peggy (Jane Bryan).
