"Hangin' out in a flower shop..."

The no-holds-barred, craziest pre-Code gangster movie, a lethal cocktail of booze, grenades, Tommy guns, incest, murder and extreme violence. Slower to start than I remember but when it changes gear, it's superb.

"I ain't so tough..."

A superstar is born. You simply can't take your eyes off Cagney, the ultimate scene-stealer. He's charming, menacing, cocky and vulnerable all in one. Absolutely one of the greatest movies stars ever and a brilliant film.

"When I get in a tight spot, I shoot my way out of it..."

A trailblazer that kicked down the doors with a great central performance from Eddie G, however, it suffers from that early talkies awkwardness and is pretty stilted in places.

It's #GatSaturday - me, @donny222.bsky.social and @curiodik1dik2.bsky.social working through #LittleCaesar (1931), #ThePublicEnemy (1931) and #Scarface (1932).

Tommy Guns, pineapples, speakeasies, incest, murder and booze all in their pre-Code glory.

Follow me for mini 'reviews' later, #FilmSky.
