Respect is a recurring theme for the dons and crooks in gangster movies, and one classic 1932 release deserves more of it. For the better part of a century, Hollywood has obsessed over gangsters – those smooth-talking, free-living criminals rolling in cash, breaking the law, and being nice to their mothers. The romanticization of the gangster has resulted in stone-cold untouchables such as The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Scarface, as well as classics like American Gangster, The Departed, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Once Upon a Time in America and countless others.
