Eddie is so pitiful, the goddess in his heart turned out to be a green tea bitch. (Correctly) Bogart's surrender to show weakness was a laugh. Gladys's acting is amazing! Compared with the noir films of the year, this film is too main theme, and the song and dance drama is too long, deducting one...

The title of the film of the 1920s is more appropriate. For showing an era, the capacity of this film is a little smaller. Fortunately, James Cagney's aura is strong enough. Overall, it looks good, and the ending is a typical disillusionment. The ending, but still lacks some details, and the use of narration also damages the original pattern of the...

The personal epic of many years is displayed at a super fast pace. The defect is that it is limited to "small circles", and the historical background can only be explained by narration. But the personal emotional foreshadowing is consistent and very moving. Both heroines, and even the male lead, deserve a few tears from the audience for them. Also one of the prototype stories, like Boogie...

It retains all the elements of the Warners Gangster movie, and it is almost the best looking one. The moral exhortation at the end of this genre is always so catchy, with Eddie telling Harry that "someone is building a new world," a defense of order that doesn't feel like a common-sense statement from an unstoppable hero. But no way, this is the Hollywood genre. And in Cagney's day, Bogart was just a humble...

The ups and downs of small people in big times (war, Prohibition, Great Depression), "he used to be a big shot". Fake news narration. Not just gangsters, but writing 20s history (no wonder Marty loves it). The weight of the two female characters makes the snobby and masculine gangster theme more tender and melancholy. The ending design of dying in front of the...

It is not a human being who kills a penniless person, but the background of the great era. It is not a gun that kills, but a woman, who is able to bend and use it. In the end, there is no escape from...

worthy for my liquor and my tear
This film is worthy of my 10-year-old bottle of Canadian Club Blend. I was holding the empty whisky bottle and watched with tears in my eyes.

villain love
The film portrays the emotional line of the gangsters as a minority in society. We can actually see that james' love for periscilla is that even though the girl finally got married and had children, when she went to find evidence to help her, james still went to help her, and sacrificed her own for...

George Halley: [In the shell hole, battle raging overhead] What's a matta' kid? Ya' scared?
Lloyd Hart: Yes I am.
George Halley: [Chuckles unsympathetically] No heart, huh?
Lloyd Hart: I'm beginning to think so. At least I haven't got any heart for this. I thought this business would be over with before I got here.
George Halley: What, are you a college kid?
Lloyd Hart: I just finished law school.
Eddie Bartlett: Oh, a lawyer, huh? Can you think of anything that can get us out of this hole?
George Halley: Aw, he wouldn't if he could. He's one of them guys that cheer the loudest back home, and then when they get over here and the goin' gets tough they fold up.
Eddie Bartlett: [Annoyed] Shut up...
George Halley: I'm talkin' to him...
Eddie Bartlett: [Talking to George] And I'm talkin' to YOU. I don't like heels or big mouths. We're all scared, and why shouldn't we be? Whaddya' think they're usin' in this war, water pistols?
Eddie Bartlett: [Talking to Lloyd] You're all right, kid. I like guys who are honest with themselves. Stay that way.
Eddie Bartlett: [the shelling around them has died down] Come on. Looks like it's quieted down.

George Halley: [Referring to The Sergeant, who rides roughshod over the men] Someday I'm gonna' catch that ape without his stripes on and I'm gonna' kick his teeth out.
Eddie Bartlett: [Mockingly looking George up and down] You must be quite a guy back home.
George Halley: [Shrugs nonchalantly] I do all right.
