Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Public Enemy is a 1931 pre-Code Warner Bros. gangster film directed by William A. Wellman. The film that made James Cagney a star, it also typecast him as a tough guy and gangster, and he'd keep on playing roles like that throughout The Great Depression.The "Public Enemy" of the film's title is Tom Powers (Cagney), a young Irish-American growing up in the projects of Chicago. He starts out with petty crime as a juvenile, but Prohibition offers him a chance to graduate to bootlegging and murder. Crime doesn't pay, though, and Tom, the public enemy, is destined for a bad end, "the end of every hoodlum."Jean Harlow appears as Gwen, Tom's moll. Joan Blondell plays an earlier girlfriend that gets thrown over in favor of Gwen. Mae Clarke plays yet another girlfriend, who has a memorable encounter with a grapefruit.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Ballistic Discount: Possible Trope Maker for film. The gun shop owner is so dumb he even loads the gun for Tom, while the gun is in Tom's hand. | |

Ambiguously Gay: There is a scene right after Tom comes into a lot of money where he is getting measured for a new suit. The tailor has a bit too much fun taking the measurements... | |
