## Description

Product Description Warner Gangsters Collection Volume 1 (DVD) (6-Pack)]]> desertcart.com For a knock-out combination of timeless entertainment and vintage studio history, you can't do much better than The Warner Brothers Gangsters Collection. In the 1930s and '40s, Paramount specialized in glossy comedies, MGM popularized lavish musicals, Universal produced signature horror classics, and Fox scored hits with sophisticated dramas. But it was Warner Bros. that generated controversy--if not always box-office profits--with so-called "social problem" films, and that meant gangsters. When viewed in their pre- and post-Prohibition context and in chronological order (Little Caesar and The Public Enemy, 1931; The Petrified Forest, 1936; Angels With Dirty Faces, 1938; The Roaring Twenties, 1939; White Heat, 1949), these six films definitively capture Warners' domination of the mobster genre, and to varying degrees, they all qualify as classics. With its stilted visuals and pulpy plot, Little Caesar remains stuck in the stiff, early-sound era, but it's still a prototypical powerhouse, with Edward G. Robinson's titular "Rico" setting the stage for all screen gangsters to follow. The Public Enemy made James Cagney a star (who can forget him smashing a grapefruit into Mae Clarke's face?), and Humphrey Bogart repeats his Broadway success in The Petrified Forest, a stagy adaptation of Robert Sherwood's play, still enjoyable for Bogey's ever-threatening malevolence. Then it's a Cagney triple-threat in Angels (with Pat O'Brien), racketeering in The Roaring Twenties (with Bogart), and especially the jailbird classic White Heat, with a fiery finale and an exit line ("Made it Ma! Top o' the world!") that epitomized Cagney's iconic, tough-guy image. In many ways Cagney was Warner Bros., and this Gangsters Collection pays enduring tribute to him and the important films that forged the studio's rugged reputation. --Jeff Shannon

Review: This volume of discs is excellent. - The quality of the discs is excellent!
Review: Thrilling - I havent finished all these yet, but I have to say watching these "gangster" movies is thrilling. The acting, the personalities, the action is just tremendous. My wife wont watch any movie that is black and white especially something from the 30s- well she and many other people I bet are really missing out. I started from oldest to newest, so Little Cesar was up first, at only a little more than an hour its amazing how much story and action is packed into this classic. Edward G Robinson looks and acts just like I would imagine Al Capone. In fact, I would think they are the same person. Amazing. Only to be outdone by the Public Enemy's James Cagney. I remember as a kid we would imitate Cagney and Bogart and Jimmy Stewart, these actors had unmistakable personalities, they had signature traits and sayings. I remember reading about the grapefruit scene from a book, so i started watching and waiting for the grapefruit. Well, this movie is not about that scene, it is much more and Cagney shines throughout like a true moviestar. Petrified Forest was completely unknown to me and really took me by surprise. It was like a great short story novel, with eloquent monologues and witty dialogues and just tremendous ensemble acting. I have to say I never thought of Betty Davis as sexy but she sure is in this one. I also am still trying to figure out Bogart the way he was silent and moved stiffly and held his hands like they were burnt or injured, very memorable. But most memorable is Leslie Howard his character is like a great tragic figure from classical literature. Then we move onto Angels with Dirty Faces, possibly the best of all of them. I mean you have Cagney, O'Brien, the Dead End Kids, and Bogart for god's sake, not to mention Ann Sheridan. I thought I must truly be getting old, because I was crying at the end, crying at the end of a gangster movie! This one has all the elements- the gritty urban center, the cops, the robbers, a love story, a kid story. I do remember watching this a kid and it was memorable as a kid's movie. I didnt realize though until the final scene between Cagney and O'Brien that this is movie making at its best. The acting in the final 10 minutes, the atmosphere, the plot twist, its just overwhelmingly good. So, I'll move onto the last 2- the Roaring 20s which I've never seen and White Heat which I've seen many times, but look forward to seeing it again. Why? James Cagney of course- a movie star, a great actor, a tough guy, a cool guy, simply the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous value, hours of fun

It doesn't get much better than this. Settle down with some popcorn, snuggle into your most comfy chair and get ready for hours of entertainment. The transfers of these DVD's are exceptional, especially on The Roaring Twenties and Angels with Dirty Faces. The quality of the other films is slightly less impressive, but still quite acceptable. Remember we're dealing with 75 year old films in the case of Little Caesar and Public Enemy. The audio transfers are also quite good. The heart of the set is the magnificent 1949 classic, White Heat. This is my favorite gangster movie because of the psycopathic character, Cody Jarret. What a portrayal! Never in movie history has their such a intricately neurotic, mommy-obsessed, gun-toting murderer as Cody. Nobody else but Cagney could have pulled off this performance, which hasn't lost a beat in the intervening 55 years. The interplay between Cody and his mother is the stuff of legend. There isn't one unnecessary or boring moment in White Heat, it is magnificent. One great thing about this release is that a new generation can grow to love and appreciate the talent of James Cagney. He dominates these films and he's as fresh and lovable as he was back in the 30's. His screen presence jumps out at you and even when he plays a thug, ya gotta love him. His charisma is palpable. The weak movie here (and one which doesn't quite fit), is Petrified Forest, with Bogie's breakout performance. I would have preferred a George Raft movie in its place. Bogart's performances in the Cagney films is always as a cringing second banana and it's interesting to watch how Jimmy utterly dominates their screen pairing. They made three movies together and it's no surprise that Cagney guns down Bogie in every one! Little Caesar now seems dated and the supporting cast is generally forgettable, especially the insipid Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Edward G. Robinson is fabulous, as he always was, but the movie suffers the malady of most early talkers: overacting or over direction. The extras on this DVD set are exceptional, especially the "Warner Bros. at the Movies." These contain a newsreel, a short, a cartoon and finally, the feature film itself. It allows the viewer to vicariously live through the 1930's. A real pleasure! My highest recommendation.
