Description by OLDIES.com:

In 1931, James Cagney helped jump-start the gangster genre as The Public Enemy. In 1935, he waged on-screen war against the nation's public enemies. Outcries against movies that glorified underworld criminals put Cagney on the side of the law in "G" Men.

Emphasis may have changed but elements are the same. "G" Men builds to a fury of bold escapes, siren-wailing pursuits and frenzied shootouts. "Anything worth newspaper space is worth a movie," Warner Bros. executive Lou Edelman declared. Here, a punchy hot-off-the-presses account of the pursuit and capture of John Dillinger provides the story inspiration as tough-guy Cagney gives it to 'em good in a movie that's "fast, gutsy, as simplistic and powerful as a tabloid headline" (Geoff Andrew, Time Out Film Guide).

G Men - And the "G" stands for Great! Movie Lover: from BRONX, NY US -- January, 7, 2018

It is always easy for me to write about James Cagney because he is my all time favorite actor! Cagney was so popular at this time playing gangster roles that Warner Brothers thought a change of pace was necessary! This is where G Men comes in and the film turned out to be a huge hit! In fact, in movie theatres all over the United States, the marquee would have a double feature of Public Enemy /G Men back to back! This electrifying film has Cagney on the right side of law and folks were amazed how convincing Jimmy could play a good guy for once! For all you Cagney's fans out there, G Men is the film that stands among the best in crime films!
