Movies in the early 30s glorified wealth and crime.
Not to say there werent rich karmic commeuppance for the hero/antihero.
Tonight, back to back James Cagney. His blend of good bad guy, made him a popular favorite.
From 1931 Public Enemy
a film about the bootleg business.
look back and see what things were like during the Great Depression when this film was made.
