The Guilty Generation (1931)

The rivalry between the Chicago-based family gangs of Mike Palermo (Leo Carrillo) and Tony Ricca (Boris Karloff) continues after Mike relocates to Florida. Mike's daughter, Maria (Constance Cummings), raised in a convent, loathes her father's criminal activities, despite living off the money he makes and enjoying the social status he cultivates. Maria soon meets Tony's son, Marco Smith (Robert Young), who has changed his name -- and the couple's ensuing romance challenges the long, bloody feud.
