A 1954 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Public Enemy, the classic 1931 William A. Wellman family relationship romantic love triangle gangster organized crime melodrama ("A story that will startle the entire world"; "The cold-blooded hot-head whose guns roared across the 'decade of death'!") ("with a huge cast including") starring James Cagney (as Tom Powers), Jean Harlow (as Gwen Allen), Edward Woods (as Matt Doyle), Joan Blondell (as Mamie), Beryl Mercer (as Ma Powers), Donald Cook (as Mike Powers), Leslie Fenton (as Nails Nathan), Murray Kinnell (as Putty Nose), Mae Clarke (uncredited, as Kitty, the girl who Cagney hits in the face with a grapefruit!), Frankie Darro (as James Cagney's best friend, when both were boys), and Robert Emmett O'Connor (as Paddy Ryan). Note that Edward Woods was originally cast as the lead in this movie, and James Cagney was to play his friend, but after a couple of days of filming, director William Wellman had the two actors switch roles, and Cagney became a super star, and Woods only made a total of 13 movies before retiring in 1938!

Important Added Info: 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 used in French speaking parts of Canada, but it was printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So it is an original still from the 1954 re-release, but it was printed for use in parts of Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is a pinhole in three corners and tiny paper loss in the top right corner. There are a few horizontal cracks in the emulsion at upper right, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
