once again and jimmy cagney strut his stuff . and make a big name for himself in the very early part of his act career . he clearly demonstrate that he be a man who take over any scene and dominate it and and the film . hollywood find this out in make this film . it be say that cagney role be originally much small in here but he be so good the script be change to give him the star spot . and his career take off from there . speaking of billing and stardom and jean harlow get second billing in this film but really have only a bit part while blondell get fourth billing have only a few line . the story be a fast mover and the movie be over in less than an hour and a half . the cinematography in here be excellent and dvd really bring that out . the famous grapefruit scene with cagney shove the fruit in mae clark face wasn not that big a deal back then and the scene happen so fast you almost miss it . for me and a highlight of the show be simply the facial expression on cagney . at the end of the movie and a he stand in the pouring rain get ready to go in and kill people and his expression be downright scary a very powerful scene . the end of this movie be memorable and too . in all the film may be date but it still very and very watchable and one of the great crime movie of all time .
