A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Angels with Dirty Faces, the classic 1938 Michael Curtiz (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic crime murder thriller melodrama (in this movie, quintessential tough guy Cagney is a hero to the Dead End Kids, and at the end his childhood pal, now a priest, asks him to be a coward as he is led to the electric chair to help keep those kids from following in his footsteps; "A story... mighty with the clash of men! A picture... unforgettable in its greatness!"; "Sensational in it's dramatic impact!"; "From a Story by Rowland Brown") starring James Cagney (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Rocky Sullivan), Pat O'Brien (as Father Jerry Connolly), The Dead End Kids (Leo Gorcey [as Bim], Billy Halop [as Soapy], Huntz Hall [as Crab], Bobby Jordan, Gabriel Dell, Bernard Punsly), Humphrey Bogart (as James Frazier), Ann Sheridan (as Laury Ferguson), George Bancroft, and Frankie Burke (as the young Rocky; he was an unknown 17 year-old newsboy when he was discovered to play the young James Cagney, because he had an uncanny resemblance to young James Cagney!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this classic movie was first released in 1938, Humphrey Bogart and Ann Sheridan were not yet major stars, and Cagney and O'Brien were, so they were given top billing, and the Dead End Kids were billed third (reflecting their then high popularity). Humphrey Bogart was fourth, and Ann Sheridan was fifth. When the film was re-released in the early 1940s, the billing was the same, but by 1948, the billing shifted and Humphrey Bogart was now third, Ann Sheridan fourth, and the Dead End Kids had fallen to sixth, behind George Bancroft, and in 1956, when it was re-released again, that billing stayed the same! Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1938, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. <---- !!!THIS IS A REISSUE, REVISE THIS PARAGRAPH TO REMOVE 'original'!!! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
