The Public Enemy: James Cagney

Personally I love The Public Enemy and was thrilled to watch it again in class. If you enjoyed it as well here is a movie review commenting on James Cagney's performance and his role as a gangster. I thought he did a wonderful job and he convinced me from the start that he was truly a a malicious gangster. "His is a riveting portrayal, one can't take their eyes off his brutality and
callousness, a menacing coil ready to spring into action at a moments notice,
whether to kill in cold blood or shove citrus in his girlfriend's face."
