    Storyline

    • 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 Film
    This is definitely Jimmy Cagney's film all the way. He is superb in it and his acting actually makes the rest of the cast better in support. Cagney was such a great actor he would always help elevate others performances in his films and he does so very much in this one. This film is well done for it's time though it looks a little flawed with age now.

    The story is actually based upon a real FBI case in the early 30's. It stretches the truth after a while in order to fit the task. The gun fight sequence towards the end is amazingly violent yet most of the what seems to be thousands of shots fired seem to miss everything.

    This is one of many films that established Warner Brothers as :Gangster Films Inc" during the 30's & 40's. It is a strong entry which was well produced for a 1935 (early) film. It treats it's subject pretty well. If you like Cagney, this is a film you must see to understand how far he had already developed his acting skills in 1935.
