It was all in his eyes; the way he lowered his head and look over his eyebrows. What a beautiful man!
I told you a million times not to talk to me when I'm doing my lashes!

Watching it now and Ayres looks pretty tough to me, in a remarkably handsome way ! Love the way everyone wore suits, hats, even the crooks ! Now everyone wears T shirts, shorts, sweats and flip flops ! What a world !

"lew ayres was a bit young for this role"
I though the same thing, especially since I know him as an older actor. But really, that face was way too young looking to be taken as a hard edged and tough boss. In fact it was unbelievable. But still, a very interesting film and a great showcase for a very young Cagney.

didja know they didn't have any Sucrets back then either.
Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.
