An absolute cinema classic, Angels with Dirty Faces is one of the greatest “gangster films” of the 1930s -- a film that made James Cagney a legend and earned him an Oscar nomination. The film is expertly directed by legendary filmmaker Michael Curtiz (Casablanca), complete with a climactic shootout-and-chase scene and beautiful film noir photography that stands the test of time.
