Rating: - "Let's play him as screwy."
After a decade long absence from the gangster genre, James Cagney comes roaring back in this Raoul Walsh classic.

I try not to become exorbinate with words on my film reviews and edit it down to thirty words or less. I don't have that problem here. I can sum it up in five.

Rating: - Perfect Gangster film till "The Godfather"...

The movie follows the fall of Cody Jarrett, a psychopathic gang leader with a seesaw ... Read More
Rating: - Cagney-White Heat
James Cagney at his best! He put the G in ganster. Besides Yanky Doodle Dandy this is one of James Cagney's greatest movies.
