CLASSIC - if you aint ever seen this movie - watch it today! let me tell you, you thought the gunfight in the matrix was crazy... WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS!!! THIS IS THE GANGSTER MOVIE TO END ALL GANGSTER MOVIES!!!

Description:
The Beast of the City
MGM, 1932
Walter Huston, Jean Harlow, Jean Hersholt, Wallace Ford, Tully Marshall
Directed by Charles J. Brabin
Produced by Hunt Stromberg
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022660/

Called "one of the greatest crime films most people have never seen", The Beast of the City is "a reactionary answer to the success of films such as The Public Enemy that glamorized the life of the gangster." MGM wanted to condemn the era's romantic notion of the mob-boss-as-playboy,so they had writer W.R. Burnett (Little Caesar, The Asphalt Jungle, High Sierra, This Gun For Hire, Scarface) shift the emphasis from criminals to crime-fighters while keeping the genre's hard edges intact. The result plays like gangbusters.
