94. Watch all of the films on AFI’s “10 Top 10“ list. (36/100) - The Public Enemy

The Public Enemy

This is a 1931 film starring James Cagney and Jean Harlow (although she's really not in it a lot).  I'm not too sure what to say about this film as I found it difficult to watch because I wasn't drawn into the story.  It's about gangs during Prohibition, which obviously can be interesting, but this movie really isn't.  I'd much rather read a book about gangs during Prohibition than ever see this film again.

I have another film from the "Gangster" list on my Tivo - Little Caesar - but it's from 1930 and I don't think I could take another of these films tonight.
