Each Dawn I Die (1939)
Country: US
Technical: bw 84m
Director: William Keighley
Cast: James Cagney, George Raft, Jane Bryan
Synopsis:
A reporter framed by a corrupt D.A. is convicted of manslaughter and sent to prison, where he becomes increasingly embittered and allies himself to another inmate.
Review:
Energetic crime drama/social conscience pic which gives the impression of Cagney sitting back and letting Raft have all the fun. Some archetypal prison scenes, and any sense of over-familiarity in the plotting can be forgiven thanks to the cracking pace.
