Directed by Michael Curtiz
Written by John Wexley and Warren Duff
Starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, the Bowery Boys
This is a good (not great) gangster movie. I'm told it's a kind of response to The Public Enemy, which is evident from its moral/social pointedness and Pat O'Brien's tough and completely morally upright priest. That being said, it's a good story, and there are lots of good performances (and interesting to see Humphrey Bogart's supporting role as not what you think of from Casablanca or the detective movies). Cagney's a pleasure, of course. And, even if the ending comes off as a little contrived, it's still pretty interesting.
