Movie Reviews of Each Dawn I Die
Movie Review: James Cagney & George Raft? How can you beat that?
Summary: 5 Stars
They star together in this important gangster movie, (if there is such a thing), Each Dawn I Die. Excellent performances by both. Cagney was getting tired of the genre' but it doesn't show here as he is the crusading good guy reporter, Frank Ross, exposing criminal activity in government. He is framed for a drunk driving murder. Raft is "Hood" Stacy, a career criminal, moody & menacing, not to be trifled with, even in prison. At first, Ross tries to keep his integrity & feels sure he will be sprung by his newspaper. He avoids Stacy. Eventually, they make common cause against a hated stoolie & a sadistic guard. Ross is changing, prison is hardening him. Yet, he is still optimistic, but his faith is starting to fade as weeks turn into months. As he & Stacy become close, Stacy convinces him that he maybe in prison a long time. Stacy has a plan in which Ross can help him escape. In a rather complicated & somewhat implasible chain of events it works. Once he's on the outside Stacy has promised to use his underworld contacts to get evidence that will set Ross free. But he is conning Ross & once free does nothing. He meets Ross' loyal girl-friend & fellow reporter, Jane (Joyce Conover). She softens his heart & improbably he finally decides to keep his promise. This leads him back to prison where one of the conspirators that framed Ross is now serving time on an unrelated charge. Stacy then turns himself in. Meanwhile, things have been going bad for Ross. He spends lots of time in "the hole", being tortured by the guards that hold him responsible for Stacy's escape. Once again in prison, Stacy "convinces" the guy that helped frame Ross to confess to the warden during a prison riot that Ross tries to prevent. Ross is free at last returns to his old self (with the help of Jane). He has the headline of his life, & the crooked politicians are apprehended. What happens to, noble in the end, Stacey? Well... A major movie from that golden year of 1939. Don't miss it if you like the gangster, prison type genre' pre World War II.
