James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart star in this gritty but heartwarming story of a gangster who turns his life around after meeting some special kids. Year: 1938 Director: Michael Curtiz Starring: James Cagney, Pat O'Brian, Humphrey Bogart. Director: Michael Curtiz. Actors: Humphrey Bogart, Pat O'Brien, James Cagney. Michael Curtiz (CASABLANCA) directs James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Pat O'Brien in one of the greatest gangster melodramas made during the Hollywood studio era. William "Rocky" Sullivan (Cagney) and Jerry Connolly (O'Brien), partners in mischief as boys, are separated when only Jerry is fast enough to get away from the cops after the duo steals fountain pens from a railroad car. Rocky, refusing to give the name of his friend, is sent off to a reform school where he falls under the influence of criminal elements. The grown-up Rocky's triumphant return to the neighborhood complicates the efforts of Jerry, now a parish priest, to keep a local group of boys (the Dead End Kids) out of trouble. When the gang begins to idolize Rocky, Connolly fears his good works may come to nothing. Meanwhile, Rocky vies for control of the criminal rackets in the neighborhood with mob boss Mac Keefer (George Bancroft) and a corrupt, double-crossing lawyer, James Frazier (Bogart).
Curtiz's taut, suspenseful, yet suprisingly sensitive handling of the gritty urban morality play turned ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES into the first unqualified masterpiece of his stunningly prolific career. The archetypal gangster thriller, brimming with the magnetism and explosive dramatic energy supplied by the three male leads, was nominated for three Academy Award Nominations: Best Director, Best Actor (Cagney), and Best Original Story. Film marks second pairing of James Cagney and Pat O'Brien since Cagney's leaving Warner Bros.
The actors playing the street children were known as "The Dead End Kids" and were featured in a number of studio productions.
Jo Graham is credited as the dialogue director.
Director Michael Curtiz received two Academy Award nominations for Best Director in 1938, one for "Angels with Dirty Faces," the other for "Four Daughters." Angels With Dirty Faces Reviews: "...[Cagney is] lovably cocky....A life lesson..." -- Rating: A-
-- David Everitt, Entertainment Weekly "ANGELS was Cagney's gold-standard reference point."-- Mike Clark, USA Today "ANGELS finds Cagney absolutely riveting..."-- Susan King, Los Angeles Times

The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's.

This set contains the films BLACK ANGEL I, BLACK ANGEL II, and PISTOL OPERA.
BLACK ANGEL: The fetching Riona Hazuki (PARASITE EVE) stars in this Japanese crime film as Ikko, a woman who calls herself the Black Angel and is out to get her revenge on a yakuza boss named Nogi. When she was a girl, Nogi had Ikko's family slaughtered, and she was saved only because a mysterious woman known as the Black Angel saved her life. Having decided to emulate her savior, Ikko heads down a dangerous path as she attempts to destroy Nogi, now one of the most powerful Yakuza bosses in Japan. Directed by former manga artist Takashi Ishii (GONIN), BLACK ANGEL is a visual marvel. Filled with beautiful wide angle camerawork that distorts and dramatizes the cramped urban setting, BLACK ANGEL is an excellent and entertaining thriller.
BLACK ANGEL II: Yuki Amami is the Black Angel, in this sequel to the original film. The Angel is ordered to hit a powerful syndicate boss. However, the hit goes awry when the boss's guard steps in, who turns out to be none other than Yamambe, ...
