Send us a text In part 1 of 2, Warner Bros executive and film historian George Feltenstein joins with Alan K. Rode, author of “Michael Curtiz: A Life in Film,” for a lively discussion of the 1938 classic gangster film ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES. George gives background on the restoration process to bring the film to Blu-ray and explains why he was so adamant about releasing the film before the end of 2021. Alan K. Rode provides additional insights into the director of the film, Michael Curtiz, and his relationships with the star-studded cast of James Cagney as Jimmy Sullivan, Pat O’Brien as Father Jerry Connolly, Ann Sheridan as Laury Ferguson, Humphry Bogart as James Frazier, and The Dead End Kids (who first appeared with Bogart in the 1935 film DEAD END). In addition, they discuss the importance of this beloved film to Warner Bros and film history. www.alankrode.com www.filmnoirfoundation.com Otaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
