Amazon.com essential video:
Director William Wellman (Wings), a World War I veteran who turned his experiences in battle into an insistence on unpretentious violence in his films, made Public Enemy a particularly brutal account of the rise and fall of a monstrous gangster (James Cagney). Cagney delivers one of the most famous performances in film history as the snarling crook who--in one of the film's most famous scenes--smashes a grapefruit into the face of Mae Clarke. The film's a bit dated, but its action scenes still pack an unusual wallop. --Tom Keogh

for a number of reasons,this James Cagney vehicle just didn't do it for
me.i found it dreary and depressing,and slow.the whole film had an
atmosphere of oppressiveness to it.plus,i had just watched Little
Caesar,another Gangster picture,this one starring Edward
G.Robinson,prior to Public Enemy.Little Caesar was released a year
earlier than Public enemy.i feel it is a much superior film.the
characters are much better written,as is the story.and i also feel that ... Read More

I have seen this movie five or six times. The one thing I can tell you is that it really has the feel of a culture that is gone. The twenties and thirties were perfectly captured here. Some of the acting is just par, but Cagney takes your focus away from the lower actors and makes the movie. Unlike any gangster movie today, they wern't making this movie to portray an event from decades ago but from the news of the day. That is a much more difficult thing to do, and this was the first gangster movie. ... Read More

James Cagney makes a great impression in this film about an impoverished man who turns to crime to find fame, money and women. His older brother is an upstanding if imperfect man who works for little pay, takes care of his mother and goes to war when requested for his country. Who is the better man? Sometimes it seems hard to tell but obviously Cagney is the biggest danger to his family, friends and girlfriends. A woman gets a grapefruit smashed in her face, another girl deals with Cagney's lack of ... Read More

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and an absolute classic! Cagney's performance is just incredible, he's playing what should be a bad guy(Tom Powers), but it's done in such a way that you really feel for him, even though at times he's a real jerk! It's no wonder this film made him a star, he's just so darn good in it, he's magnetic, and at times, downright chilling! The film is also beautifully directed by William A. Wellman, especially when the action takes place out of sight from the audience's ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
The Public Enemy may be an important film in the history of cinema what with being one of the first "social" films Warner Brothers churned out, but it's a patently simple story of a gangster's rise and fall that pales next to later gangster films and even contemporary ones like Little Caesar and Scarface: yes James Cagney shoves a grapefruit into Mae Clarke's face, but so what?
