Absolutely the best gangster movie pre-1950. Arguably Cagney's most brilliant performance--certainly his most forceful and layered. The rest of the cast is great, dialog superb, direction tops. I never tire of seeing it.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
