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.

Erros de gravação
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".

Citações
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.

Watch Cagney become Cagney

If you want to know how James Cagney become such a huge star, just watch this - not quite this story about a con man who becomes a Hollywood star but how he outshines the rest of the cast. Even though they are all passable actors, Cagney is somehow in a different league. The downside was that by outshining his co-stars, their contributions make the whole film seem a little amateurish. The upside was that to keep up with him eventually everyone had to get up to his standard but this hadn't quite happened by 1933.

This film is super-fast, super-snappy and both reasonably funny and gripping at the same time. Overseen by Warner's production head Daryl Zanuck, it was written specifically for Cagney to highlight his own particular talents and loveable rogue personality.

Warner Brothers knew exactly what they were doing - making a star and making a lot of money but didn't account for Cagney's demands for staggeringly enormous wages. They did their sums and reluctantly always gave in - just watching him in this you can see why.
