November 2012 Film Review: Angels with Dirty Faces‚ USA 1938 The film I have chosen to review and analyse under the theoretical frame Genre is Angels with Dirty Faces‚ a gangster film directed by Michael Curtiz starring James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. In Andrew Tudor’s book “Theories of Film”‚ he argued that genre is “what we collectively believe it to be”. I believe that when Tudor says “we” he means the audience.

Overall the movie was good but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t read the book the week before.
