Review of Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) by Roy P — 17 Aug 2007
A solid classic from director Michael Curtiz, who you may know from his more famous works such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and of course, Casablanca. First off, this is a GREAT story of two childhood friends who later went down completely separate paths (gangster and priest).
The acting overall isn't anything spectacular until the last 30 minutes or so of the film, where Cagney's performance, as well as O'Brien's, takes a surprising turn from decent to great.
That's all I really have to comment on, but it's a must-see.
