Curiosidades
For the scene when Dan Quigley hauls Myra Gale across the apartment floor by her hair and throws her out the door, James Cagney taught his co-star Mae Clarke an old stage trick. When Cagney grabbed hold of Clarke's hair (holding her by the top of her head), Clarke reached up and grabbed Cagney's wrist with both hands. This put her weight on Cagney's wrist, instead of on her hair. Clarke then held on to Cagney's wrist, screaming, as he dragged her across the room.

Pifias
After the robbery of the wealthy woman's home, the paper says a maid was struck and seriously injured, and later in Dan Quigley's office, they're still talking about a maid who screams. Later, when the guy who actually hit her comes back scared, he says the butler died.

The owner of the house where Dan was taken after the "car accident" was Mrs. Wilbur Marley. This was the house where the maid was "slugged". The butler who "croaked" was "on the Crosby job".

Citas
Spade Maddock: [discussing diamond-studded Mrs. Marley at the gang's speakeasy] C'mere - take a gander at her.
Dan Quigley: [eyeing her through a peephole] Did you say "gander?" I wonder how she'd go for a goose.

a bit difficult to believe but lots of fun

Jimmy Cagney plays a gangster in this film. However, despite having seen him play such a role in countless other films, this one is unique and well worth seeing because it STILL dares to be different.

Cagney is a wanted man back East, so he gets the idea of going to the West Coast to hang out and wait for things to die down. However, once there he is discovered by Hollywood and stars in gangster films because he is "so natural and believable". Well, despite his very shady past, Cagney tries to go straight and likes the life of a star. However, old associates realize who he is and try to blackmail him.

The film is a light comedy that invigorates the standard gangster genre. For its uniqueness and excellent acting and writing, the film gets an 8.
