Pat O'Brien and Bette Davis couldn't have been any better. Instant chemistry between them in this great pre-code film. Very snappy dialogue with the influence of Cagney on O'Brien apparent. Movies like this show you why they instituted a code even though I don't agree with it - you can see how certain parts of the movie could have a bad influence on impressionable people though overall the power of O'Brien and Davis carries this movie to great heights. My only major problem was the ending.
