Upon its release, “Angels with Dirty Faces” garnered critical acclaim and commercial success. It was particularly praised for its engaging story, strong performances, and its thought-provoking examination of crime, punishment, and redemption. The film received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for James Cagney.
Perhaps the most enduring aspect of the movie is the Academy Award-nominated performance of Cagney as the tough guy worshipped by the local boys, who were played by a group of actors known as the Dead End Kids. Cagney based his now-famous mannerisms and swagger on a pimp he knew from his boyhood neighbourhood.
