Angels With Dirty Faces is another film I saw during my big Film Noir
craze. Although I was categorically disappointed that it wasn't the
"Angels With Filthy Souls" that I'd seen in Home Alone (and in its
sequel "Angels With Filthier Souls"), the film itself surprised me as
being a particularly touching Noir flick.
Not focusing on the tough guy just being a tough guy, the film
centralises around the main characters place in society and his moral
ability to choose between right and wrong. It is this decision and how
it effects others which drives the film to new grounds.
