Cagney plays Rocky Sullivan, a charismatic hoodlum whose image becomes dangerously aspirational for neighbourhood kids, while O’Brien’s priest character fights to steer them away from the myth. The film remains a cornerstone of 1930s crime cinema and a key work in the Cagney legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1695\" data-start=\"1017\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1034\" data-start=\"1017\"\u003ePoster design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1037\" data-start=\"1034\"\u003eA rare horizontal-format Japanese press-sheet that reads like a mini newspaper layout—dense with Japanese copy, cast\/credit blocks, and illustrated vignettes, designed for exhibitors and rapid display.
