Nemico pubblico, USA, 1931, 83 min., 35mm original version with Italian subtitles

directed by William A. Wellman, starring James Cagney and Jean Harlow

The story of Tom Powers, a gangster of Irish descent in Chicago at the time of prohibition, is one of the founding moments in the genre thanks to Cagney’s extraordinarily modern acting and to Wellman’s tense and vibrant direction. The grapefruit scene and an ending that is still shocking in its violence have entered the realm of legend.
