Movie Reviews of Each Dawn I Die
Movie Review: Mainly Just For Cagney Fans
Summary: 2 Stars
James Cagney and George Raft elevate this prison movie from just fair-to-poor to slightly-better-than average.....with just their screen presence. Without them, I wouldn't have even given this a second look. That second look was on DVD, too, and it looks a lot better than the VHS edition
Cagney plays a newspaper man ("Frank Ross") framed for killing people as a drunk driver. The truth was that he was knocked out cold, put behind a wheel, doused with alcohol and then had the car started. Just by coincidence, the car rams into others and kills people and, of course, witnesses - true and false ones - are there to testify against him. In jail, he meets mobster "Stacey" (George Raft) who slowly takes a liking to Ross..
If you stop to analyze a few things, you'll lose all regard for the story. There are many holes in this story and you just have to go along with them. The movie did serve a good purpose. Reportedly, because of this film there was some needed prison reform. Convicts were treated in way too harsh a manner back then. As in most cases, we now have gone too far in the opposite direction, it's been said, but that's another story.
Other than that historical significance of this film having some real-life impact, it's not a memorable movie. I would only recommend it to Cagney fans (of which I am one.).
Summary of Each Dawn I Die
Although innocent, reporter Frank Ross is found guilty of murder and is sent to jail. While his friends at the newspaper try to find out who framed him, Frank gets hardened by prison life and his optimism turns into bitterness. He meets fellow-inmate Stacey and they decide to help each other.Animation DVD Video
