Am I Guilty?

Am I Guilty? is a 1940 American film directed by Samuel Neufeld for the Supreme Pictures Corporation. The film's producer A. W. Hackel,[1] who had founded Supreme Pictures, planned a series of films featuring black casts, but Am I Guilty? was the only one to be released.[2] The screenplay was cowritten by Earle Snell and George Wallace Sayre based on a story by Sherman Lowe.

Toddy Pictures rereleased the film as Racket Doctor in 1945.[3][4] Advertisements for the film, including a lobby card, remain in existence,[5] and a poster was appraised on an episode of the PBS show Antiques Roadshow.

The Pittsburgh Courier described a gala opening at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.[6]
