Smart Money (1931)
10/10
Two of the best
22 October 2018
So here we get to see the first and last time James Cagney and Edward G Robinson are teamed up, simply two of the best and the reasons? its probably because they were two of the best. Alongside these two greats we get a small cameo with Boris Karloff and Evalyn Knapp, a good crowd to be with.

The story is of Mick the Barber {Robinson} a small time gambler who is itching to make his fortune but along the ways he gets Hustled by the women and stitched up by those he is gambling with. Cagney has a smaller role as he was only into his 5th film with warner but he plays that part well.

its a great little film filled with not the gangster you would normally expect from the two big stars but a little humour and a soft side.

overall a great print with some great acting.
