Edward G Robinson (All My Sons) takes on a dual role, playing both an advertising man and a violent gangster, in The Whole Towns Talking, a fast-paced screwball comedy from legendary director John Ford (The Long Gray Line), also starring Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington).

Mild-mannered Arthur Jones (Robinson) is arrested when he is mistaken for his doppelgnger, bank robber Killer Mannion (also Robinson). When Mannion gets wind of this, he kidnaps Jones co-worker Miss Clark (Arthur), and seeks to frame Jones for his crimes...

Based on a story by W R Burnett (Little Caesar), and co-written by regular Frank Capra collaborator Robert Riskin (It Happened One Night), The Whole Towns Talking is a hilarious blend of screwball comedy and crime film.
