Turn Back The Clock - 1933 - 6/10

Lee Tracy as small time drugstore owner, who meets a childhood chum, now quite the swell.
The poorer friend starts imagining, for likely the hundredth time, how his life might have turned out.
If only …
Until a twist of fate hits the reset button, sending him back twenty years.
And oh, the decisions he makes, and the consequences.
MGM film is preachy, especially for a Pre-Code, and would have been better served by Warners or Columbia.
Tracy, an acquired taste, is annoying throughout. Look quick for the “new trio.”
