Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)

I watched Angels With Dirty Faces for the first time last year and it was the film that made me fall in love with the world of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) has just served 3 years in prison. Now he's out he is looking for the $100,000 that James Frazier (Bogie) promised him. Will he be able to collect or will he be swimming with the fishes?

Cagney is just a powerhouse in this film and I am always rooting for his character to the end. I also believe that the ending makes sense in the context of the Hays Code and I actually adore its ambiguity.

Sometimes, as much as we naturally rally against the Hays Code, it's also possible that these types of constraints can end up benefitting a piece of creative work, and if the film is as great as "Angels With Dirty Faces", they may foster greater creativity. In this instance I'd struggle to imagine that hauting ending any other way. Did he fake it for the kids or did he finally crumble confronted his own fate? In my mind he's faking it, but the doubt is always there. That scene is so beautifully shot and then we have the actual final scene as the kids ascend to Heaven led by Father Connolly... but does Rocky go there too?

A 10/10 film. And surely one of the most influential performances in the history of cinema.

"There's not a fake minute in a James Cagney movie" - Orson Welles

Let me lay it on the line

I've got a little freakiness inside

And you know that a man has gotta deal with it

I don't care what they say

I'm not about to pay nobody's way

'Cause it's all about the dark in me

The thing is, people really like to watch an actor or a director evolve. It’s not that they dislike it when artists do the same thing very well over and over again, but to have crossed so many spectrums in one’s career, and to have physical evidence of an artist’s evolution on the screen, is really interesting. They write books about how Humphrey Bogart went from screen heavy to romantic anti-hero to grizzled, haunted character, proto-Method actor. There are documentaries about how Jane Fonda went from bubbly sixties rom com princess to vilified radical to beloved sassy grandma. There are going to be retrospectives on how Spielberg went from blockbuster wunderkind to serious filmmaker to an sleek genre chameleon.

It just makes you love movies, gosh darn it.
