Gangster Movies

Description

“If you want to deliver a message,” said Sam Goldwyin, “call Western Union.” Gangster films, as the introduction lays bare, were not made to deliver profound messages, but purely for entertainment (although this may not be true of The Godfather series), and all the greats are collected in this book, from the early thugs with impeccable style like Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney, through the film noir years dominated by Humphrey Bogart, to the 1970s icons like Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson. This hardback edition is in very good condition.
