From the Warner Gangsters Collection. If you're a fan of classic gangster
films, of Jimmy Cagney or Jean Harlow, then it doesn't get any better
than this. William Wellman's landmark gangster movie traces the rise and
fall of prohibition-era mobster Tom Powers. We are first shown various
episodes of Tom's childhood, with the corrupting influences of the beer
hall, pool parlor, and false friends like minor-league fence Putty Nose.
As young adults, Tom and his pal Matt Doyle are hired by ruthless but
innately decent bootlegger Paddy Ryan. The boys quickly rise to the top
of the heap, with all the accoutrements of success: custom-tailored
tuxedoes, fancy cars, and gorgeous girls. All the while, Tom's loving
mother is kept in the dark, bebelieving Tommy to be a good boy, a
facade easily seen through by his older brother. Tommy's degeneration
from brash kid to vicious lowlife is brought home in a famous scene in
which he smashes a grapefruit in the face of his latest mistress.

Included as an extra is a second audio track of commentary.
