The Public Enemy showcases James Cagney's powerful 1931 breakthrough performance as streetwise tough guy Tom Powers - but only because production chief DarryI F. Zanuck made a late 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 indelibIe genre cIassic and an enduring star career were both born. BristIing with '20s styIe, dialogue and desperation under the masterfuI directorial eye of WiIIiam A. WeIIman, this is a virtuaI time capsuIe of the Prohibition era: taut, gritty, hard-hitting - even at breakfast when grapefruit is served. |
