In the silent movies, two of the bad and evil men were William Powell and Warner William. They were big box office stars. With sound, they were some of the few that made the transition to talkies. No doubt it is because both were Broadway actors before coming to Hollywood.
Some of their first sound movies were done with Michael Curtiz who managed their change from cads to charming, if alcohol-influenced, detectives and good lawyers.
