Angels With Dirty Faces

Angels With Dirty Faces is a 1938 gangster film directed by Michael Curtiz starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Humphrey Bogart.
It tells the story of Rocky Sullivan, a gangster, who as a child was arrested for burglary while his friend Jerry only managed to escape due to Rocky helping him up off a train track. As Rocky spiralled into a life of crime, Jerry became a priest.
The film represents the two paths people can walk down as kids as one simple event can alter their entire future. Caught in between these two paths are a group of kids or the "angels with dirty faces".
