Note:The Public Ememy showcases James Cagney's powerful 1931 breakthrough performance as a streetwise tough guy Tom Powers -- but only because production chief Darryl 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 indelible genre classic and an enduring star career were both born. Bristling with '20s style, dialogue and desperation under the masterful directorial eye of William W. Wellman, this is a virtual time capsule of the Prohibition era: taut, gritty , hardhitting- even at breakfast when grapefruit is served -- from video case back.
