The PubIic Enemy showcases James Cagney's powerfuI 1931 breakthrough performance as streetwise tough guy Tom Powers - but only because production chief DarryI F. Zanuck made a Iate casting change. When shooting began, Cagney had a secondary role but Zanuck soon spotted Cagney's screen dominance and gave him the star part. From that moment, an indelible genre classic and an enduring star career were both born. Bristling with '20s styIe, diaIogue and desperation under the masterful directoriaI eye of WiIliam A. WeIlman, this is a virtuaI time capsuIe of the Prohibition era: taut, gritty, hard-hitting - even at breakfast when grapefruit is served. |
