What goes around comes around. James Cagney was originally touted to play second-lead in The Public Enemy (1931) but his performance proved so electric he took over the starring role from his taller, dark-haired peer, Edward Woods, who was relegated to the supporting part. Of course the childhood scenes had already been filmed, but no matter. The film simply shows the tall, dark-haired boy growing into Cagney while the light-haired pug becomes Edward Woods. Why not? What's a little incongruity in a Hollywood film? They probably didn't think we'd still be talking about the picture 70 years later.

Angels With Dirty Faces (1938) is a classic example of a Warner Bros. gangster/crime melodrama of the 1930s - a slick, action-packed, hard-hitting studio film layered with a touch of social conscience. Director Michael Curtiz blended the irresistible story with a great, tough cast of marvelous characters, especially James Cagney and Pat O'Brien as its two stars, along with gritty locales and the street-wise "Dead End" Kids (from their appearance in the 1935 play and the film Dead End (1937)).

The Dead End Kids have dirty faces, all right — but they’re no angels. Tough-talking young hoods much given to slapping one another’s faces and terrorizing their lower East Side Manhattan neighborhood, they may tolerate sincere, savvy Father Jerry Connolly (Pat O’Brien) and his efforts to divert them from the dangers of life on the street; but it’s in Fr. Jerry’s boyhood chum, infamous gangster Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney), that the Kids find a mentor and kindred spirit.
