Review of The Public Enemy (1931) by Alan W — 27 Apr 2008
How does james cagney play such rotten charactors, really rotten and play them so well and keep us on his side??
Jean Harlow and Leslie Fenton have the verve and energy it takes to be up there with Cagney, some of the other actors, all good, get a little lost trying to keep up with thise three.
William Wellman is a great Director for macho, tough guy movies and with this story and this tough guy, what could be bad??
Nothing, its great!
