ALIAS JIMMY VALENTINE
ллл
 USA
A respectable citizen by day spends his nights cracking safes.
   Though much of it is dull, this early gangster picture does feature some imaginative photography and a couple of memorable setpieces, including a heist filmed in a single shot from a bird's-eye point of view.
dir: Maurice Tourneur
cast: Robert Warwick, Robert Cummings, Alec B. Francis, Frederick Truesdell, Ruth Shepley

An orphan grows up to be a powerful gangster.
   A well-crafted sermon, adept at exploiting both Christian values and cross-cutting for dramatic purposes. It's often credited as the first-ever feature-length gangster-movie - though the same year's "Alias Jimmy Valentine" was released seven months earlier.
