The Mayor of Hell blows this 1 out of the water in a lot of ways: 1) Cagney had criminal ties in "HELL", Bogart is a straight guy from the streets in "Crime School",but he has clearly been educated. The 2 films stand the test of time. Leo Gorcey is once again the "Maverick" of the group, just like in "Dead End" & "Angels with Dirty Faces",2 more classics. This film has an excellent drama and acting level. It shows the way politics can literally screw a class of people. I'll take the Dead End kids in any film before I can sit through any Andy Hardy/Rooney yarn. Enjoy this 1. It's a lot of fun. Sadly Bogie does not have a sidekick in this 1 like Cagney did in "Hell". But you won't be let down.
