Angels With Dirty Faces Reviews:
"The Public Enemy Meets Boys Town"
2009-07-24 - James Cagney knew a terrific part when he saw one, with the role of Rocky Sullivan made to order. Directed in rat-a-tat-tat fashion by Michael Curtiz, "Angels With Dirty Faces" (1938) remains the quintessential Cagney gangster movie - an energetic, expressionist fusion of Warner Bros. rowdiness and MGM moralism. Stylistically, the film matches the rhythms and emotions of Cagney's dazzling performance. "Angels With Dirty Faces" pulls out all the stops with classic portrayals by co-stars Pat O'Brien, Ann Sheridan, Humphrey Bogart and the Dead End Kids. The rough harshness of the early gangster dramas has evolved into a slick efficiency.

Cagney Heads Impressive Cast
2009-01-18 - This film certainly has an attractive cast with three Hall-Of-Fame male actors and the very pretty Ann Sheridan. I am glad to see fellow reviewers here share the love for James Cagney, my favorite classic-era actor.

Cagney, as he was prone to do in his career, steals most of the scenes. He just dominates the screen and gets you very involved with his character, especially at the end. Pat O'Brien plays his normal somewhat-liberal and likable priest role and Humphrey Bogart is convincing as the crooked lawyer. Bogart was the bad guy in most films until he became a big star a couple years after this film.

The "Dead End Kids" are a pretty tough bunch. Seeing them play basketball is quite a sight - more like rugby than roundball. The shootout-and-chase scene near the end was well-done with some great film-noir photography and the ending of the movie is quite memorable.

Frankly, the first time I saw this I thought it was overrated but after the second viewing - and then seeing a nice transfer on this DVD - I changed my mind. It is anything but overrated.



Angles With Dirty Faces
2008-12-16 - A film classic. Vintage Cagney. With Pat O'Brien and the East Side Kids
(Bowery Boys) supporting and Humphery Bogart as the villian how could it
not be great. A surprise ending that really is a surprise is the capper.

'Simply The Best'
2008-10-15 - There will never be another actor like James Cagney, they don't make them like him any more.
Angels with Dirty Faces Is One Of His Finest Movies.
Worth purchasing.

Great Catholic movie
2008-03-10 - This is a wonderfully entertaining movie about two friends: a gangster (Cagney) and a priest (O'Brien). The only difference between them was that when they were kids, one ran faster than the other from the cops. Cagney was caught and through the juvenile system became a gangster. O'Brien was not caught, he repented,and was called to become a priest. This movie is not only a wonderful family movie, it also is especially of value to any Catholic family. It portrays a priest who is willing to risk his life for the good of others and who is willing to especially go against his best friend (Cagney) to stop the crime wave in the city. He continues to love his gangster friend and cares for him no matter what. The story is one of friendship, of how even the worst of criminals still can have deep nobility in them if it is brought out by a true friend. The ending of this movie is simply the best I have ever seen: you will be surprised.
