ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES (1938)

 

“Angels with Dirty Faces” is a Crime Drama, screenplay by John Wexley and Warren Duff, from a story by Rowland Brown and Directed by Michael Curtiz.

It’s the story of two boyhood friends, Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) and Jerry Connolly (Pat O'Brien) who were running from the police one night when Rocky was caught.

After he was arrested, he went into the prison system and became a lifelong criminal, while Jerry went straight and became a Catholic Priest and ministered to people in the same neighbourhood where he and Rocky grew up.

When Rocky is released from prison after his latest term, he resumes his criminal lifestyle and is hero worshipped by many of the local kids.

Jerry is worried that the kids will follow Rocky down the wrong path into the criminal world and works hard to keep them on the straight and narrow.

But no matter what he says he can’t get through to them, even after Rocky is convicted of murder and sentenced to the electric chair, so Jerry visits him on death row and asks him for one last favour.

A classic of the genre, with extraordinary acting by James Cagney, ably complimented by Pat O'Brien as his friend, Humphrey Bogart who is the perfect actor as the arch villain, and the radiant Ann Sheridan adds a feminine touch.

WHATS IN A NAME (27)

Does anyone know if Alfred Sung?

Does anyone think is Sean Young?

Does anyone know is Koo Stark?

Would anyone know was Yvonne Darke?

I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE

 

I know this to be true

In the early morning gloom

No child will ever

Throw up in the bathroom

WHAT NEW LABOUR DOES

 

When they are up in the polls

They flaunt the figures outrageously

But when they are down and falling

They ridicule them vigorously

Sometimes stressing fickle public opinion

Or protest votes and volatility

When they are only down a little

They play the underdog playing for sympathy

When they are neck and neck

They feign surprise at their popularity

CABINET MINISTERS

 

Cabinet ministers apply the following rules:

And must adopt these rules immediately

If put in a position

Where they must make a decision

They delay it immediately

If they, can they delegate it to a junior

So, the junior can avoid making a decision

If all else fails, they form a committee

So, the committee can avoid making a decision

If they can in anyway whatever

Avoid making a decision

They do so immediately

CLEVER

 

I like this saying

I think its clever

It’s better to copulate

Than never
