VHS : Public Enemy
***** 1931. Directed by William A. Wellman. The screenplay earned an Academy award nomination. During the prohibition, Tom Powers and Matt Doyle become part of the Paddy Ryan gang and enjoy the mobster life. For a while. Cagney, Harlow and Blondell are great in this film any movie lover should own. At least, two scenes of THE PUBLIC ENEMY are already part of history: the grapefruit squeezed over the face of James Cagney's girl-friend and the final apparition of Cagney more spectacular than any movie of THE MUMMY serie. Masterpiece.

VHS : Strange Love of Molly Louvain
I love pre-codes, and this one was very good. But it could've been better. Think of this plot with Bette Davis leading as Molly in it and think some more. With Davis, it coud've been something amazing. I only saw Lee Tracy in supporting roles before this movie, and was delighted to see him leading. He was GREAT!!! This movie seemed like a B-movie, but it was very good. Ann Dvorak has done better, and I liked her in Three On a Match, which is really, REALLY great!!! I hope to see more of the Forbidden Hollywood Collection on DVD, especially such wonderful pre-coeds as this one, Three On a Match, Ilicit, and Red Dust, my favorite pre-code ever.

VHS : Lady Killer (1933)
"Lady Killer" is now available on DVD and what an entertaining film it is. This film was released just before the imposition of the Hays Code and we can be grateful.

The film stars the magnetic Jimmy Cagney as a bellhop who becomes a con man, flees the police and winds up in Hollywood as a film star. This gives the script the opportunity to satirise a number of genres and the swipes at the studio system are hilarious. Mae Clarke, of the grapefruit from "Public Enemy", stars opposite Cagney as a moll and she is terrific. The film is very well directed by Roy del Ruth and the pace never lets up.

The print is excellent and the DVD comes with some entertaining extras. Drew Casper's commentary centres fully on Cagney and rightly so but he also makes some enlightening remarks about the filming ... Read More

White heat is a good movie at any time of the day.
It isn't a bluff gangster film, it's the real deal.
James Cagney was cursed or blessed by the LORD to play this part,
I don't know which.
