Childhood chums Rocky Sullivan and Jerry Connelly grow up on opposite sides of the fence: Rocky matures into a prominent gangster, while Jerry becomes a priest, tending to the needs of his old tenement neighborhood.
A simply outstanding unique take on the tried-and-true gangster yarn by the incredible team of James Cagney, Pat O'Brien and Ann Sheridan. Another masterpiece by the little-heralded director Michael Curtiz.
