Hollywood and the gangster

Article Abstract:

Hollywood produced memorable gangster movies in the 1930s with stars such as James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. Movie producers maintained that their movies preached about the evil consequences of crime, but critics claimed that these movies tended to glorify gangsters. Films of the gangster genre have won several Academy Award nominations. Some of the more recent films which have won nominations are 'Prizzi's Honor,' "The Godfather - Part III,' 'Goodfellas' and 'Bugsy.'
