    Not sure which I like best– cagney was the perfect gangster hero, tough-talking with a chip on his shoulder– Robinson had that moxie and way of talking and actually looks like Capone– but Bogey had that full-blown class, like a gangster should.

    we need gangsters now days, to control thugs and all the corruption, to keep wise guys at bay .
    LOVE THE TUNE AND STILLS!

    That was GOOD. I recognized little caesar and angels with dirty faces, and some names I forget. Some I never saw though! Makes me hopeful there’s some I still didn’t see! Look forward to seeing those “new” ones. :D

    I agree .I like the way you included George E. Stone (WB Contract player) as one of the Gangsters. His last Role was in Television. He played the Courtroom Clerk in the CBS Series “Perry Mason” So George continued to be active in Film until his Death. To my knowledge, his last movie role was in Billy Wilders’s “Some Like It Hot” (1959) as Tooth Pick Charlie who got Rubbed out in the beginning of the movie, by George (Spats Columbo_ Raft..
