They Won't Forget

description They Won't Forget Overview

"They Won't Forget" (1937) is a Warner Bros. drama directed by Mervyn LeRoy, inspired by the 1913 Leo Frank case in which a Jewish factory manager was lynched in Georgia after a controversial murder conviction. The film, though changing names and locations due to sensitivity concerns, examines how regional prejudice and media sensationalism affected the trial of a Northern professor accused of murdering a student. As one of Hollywood's early social problem films, it demonstrates the studio's willingness to tackle controversial subjects during a period when most studios avoided potentially controversial content.
