lew ayres was a bit young for this role i think and it was weird watching a film with no music soundtrack, not even for opening/ending
(there was a bit of music for the dancing scene, which seemed to be all the rage back then)
didja know they didn't have any Sucrets back then either.
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
"lew ayres was a bit young for this role"
I though the same thing, especially since I know him as an older actor. But really, that face was way too young looking to be taken as a hard edged and tough boss. In fact it was unbelievable. But still, a very interesting film and a great showcase for a very young Cagney.
Watching it now and Ayres looks pretty tough to me, in a remarkably handsome way ! Love the way everyone wore suits, hats, even the crooks ! Now everyone wears T shirts, shorts, sweats and flip flops ! What a world !
shareIt was all in his eyes; the way he lowered his head and look over his eyebrows. What a beautiful man!
I told you a million times not to talk to me when I'm doing my lashes!
