Public Enemy When this
Jimmy Cagney film was released
in 1931, Variety called it the
"roughest, most powerful and
best gangster picture to date. So
strong as to be repulsive in some
aspects, with a revolting climax.
No strong names in the cast but
a lot of merit." The cast of
unknowns also includes Jean Har
low. This terrific prohibition-era
gdngbter mm aibo inauaes tne
most effective uses of grapefruit
in Hollywood history.
