Wonderful morality story; one of Cagney's most memorable
January 01, 2000
Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) is a classic example of a Warner Bros. gangster/crime melodrama of the 1930s

Rocky Sullivan is riveting. His movements are quick and vital, his speech like machine-gun fire, his demeanor sharp and confident. He is all attitude and style.

Angels With Dirty Faces benefits from the Production Code because it forces the gangster film to acknowledge its nihilism.

If you're looking to study the gangster classics, I know a good place you can start.

Envolvente do início ao fim (num desfecho, diga-se de passagem, poderosamente dramático), o filme traz Cagney em uma de suas atuações mais intensas e inspiradas.

Sometimes fierce

Although the movie trades heavily on gang-film staples, there's also ample comedy packed into the mix.

...most of all, it's Cagney: At the top of his game, the bad guy we have to love. He makes it all happen.

An archetype of 1930s and '40s gangster films. The plotting and melodramatic storytelling are stilted by today's standards, but classic movie lovers enjoy that.

James Cagney is in top form as a gangster with with redeeming qualities in this well-directed, Oscar nominated picture from Michael Curtiz, who scored in 1938 two Oscar nods; Bogart and Raft are also good.

the way Angels With Dirty Faces balances hard-bitten gangster drama with warmly stage-managed religiosity gives us an entertaining period piece, one which shows that after more than sixty years you still can't go wrong with a Jimmy Cagney movie.
