    • Trivia
      When Warner Brothers re-released this movie to theaters in 1948, a new opening scene was added to explain that the 1935 movie did not reflect the FBI of the late 1940s. David Brian plays an FBI official addressing a group of new agent-recruits (among them Douglas Kennedy), for whom the old movie will be a history lesson.
    • Goofs
      A crashing automobile knocks over a street lamp just before it runs into a building. The lamp falls away from the camera, so that its bottom is exposed. Clearly the lamp is a prop with no electrical wiring.
    • Quotes

      Jeff McCord: They're in that circle somewhere.

      James 'Brick' Davis: Only six states. We've got them cornered.

    • Alternate versions
      For the movie's 1949 re-release, a new scene was shot and stuck at the beginning of the movie. That scene is still in the picture every time it's shown on TV; it's also on the home video release, etc. In this added-14-years-later, pre-credits sequence, David Brian plays The Chief, and Douglas Kennedy plays an Agent.

    Cagney 's 'Untouchables'
    Here's an old-time (about 75 years old!) gangster movie that is fast-moving as all James Cagney crime films tend to be. In here, Cagney is the good guy, a "government man" out to get crooks, one of whom turns out to be his old pal. All the characters in here are pretty interesting, particularly Cagney's boss played by Robert Armstrong.

    Watching this film, one discovers an interesting fact: government agents weren't allowed to use guns in the early days. That didn't change until things got totally out of control with too many defenseless lawmen getting killed.

    Margaret Lindsay also stars in this movie, and that's a good thing. The more I see of her, the more I like her. It would have been interesting to see what roles she'd play if she was a young actress in today's films.

    Finally, the action scenes in this film reminded me of the old television series, "The Untouchables" with the machine guns blazing out of those big, boxy 1930 automobiles.
