Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Murder Man (1935) was 35-year-old actor Spencer Tracy's first film in what would be a 21-year career with MGM. Tracy's first MGM film was to be Riffraff (1935), opposite Jean Harlow. But, when that picture was temporarily postponed, the studio put Tracy to work immediately on The Murder Man, a modest programmer shot in three weeks. Tracy plays an investigative reporter who specializes in murder cases.
