"Public Hero Number 1" was made by an unknown director with actors who were also mostly unknown to the big audience (except for Jean Arthur and Lionel Barrymore in the supporting roles) but I definitely want this movie to be known because it is great!
Started out as a simple gangster flick it showed me some violence that I never expected from a 1935 post-code movie but after half an hour it changed its direction and showed me comedy, with the great help of Miss Arthur and Mr Barrymore. That's what I love the most about the movies in general - that they could be versatile and deep in meaning. 90 minutes shot like a bullet through my head and left me impressed to the bottom of my heart.
