"Angels With Dirty Faces" James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart, Ann Shcri dan, George Bancroft and the "DeadEnd" kids. A powerful gangster story replete with action, thrills and fast-moving excitement. In this mclo drama, the inimitable Jimmy returns to the type of role which first brought him fame and in which the public has always liked him best.
