The Public Enemy
William Wellman’s landmark gangster movie traces the rise and fall of prohibition-era mobster Tom Powers. We are first shown various episodes of Tom’s childhood with the corrupting influences of the beer hall, pool parlor, and false friends like minor-league fence Putty Nose. As young adults, Tom and his pal, Matt Doyle, are hired by ruthless but innately decent bootlegger Paddy Ryan.
