A propos de cet article

First edition, first printing: Paperback issue. Fine in photo-pictorial perfect bound wraps. Wisconsin/Warner Bros. Screenplay Series. "The Public Enemy, a 1931 Warner Brothers gangster classic, is easily remembered as the movie in which James Cagney used Mae Clarke's nose as a grapefruit grinder. As Cagney recalls, it was just about the first time that "a woman had been treated like a broad on the screen, instead of like a delicate flower." The ambivalence toward women is just one of the many stylistic contradictions that make The Public Enemy worth studying, not only for its intrinsic merits but also as a creative expression bending under the constraints of censorship." publisher's blurb. Octavo. 187 pages; notes. Illustrated with stills from the film production. Lengthy introduction, the screenplay, production credits and cast.
