Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Pleasure to Watch.
It was a pleasure to watch Cagney and Raft together. I had never seen this movie before but was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Some of the fight scenes look a little phony but that's typical of movies made during this period. The quality of the DVD is excellent, both picture and sound. If you like gangster movies you will definitely enjoy this one.
Rating: - Cagney Subdued, Cagney Electrified - Great Psychological Study
1939's Each Dawn I Die shows Jimmy Cagney in two different lights. First, as subdued yet confident star reporter, Frank Ross, who is sent to prison on a frame-up by crooked politicians. He plays by the rules and keeps his nose clean.
As the story progresses, and Frank's hopes of being released grow dim, his frustration and despair begin to grow in the brutal environment that is Rocky Point Penitentiary. We start to see a psychological change in our hero that almost reaches the point ... Read More
Rating:  - Each Dawn I Die is an interesting and entertaining movie with a great supporting cast
James Cagney as "Frank Ross" (the framed newspaper reporter) and George Raft as "Hood Stacey" (the hardened criminal) present fine performances in this film which gives a good look at life in prison. The film also has a great supporting cast with veteran performers such as Edward Pawley and Maxie Rosenbloom. Pawley gives an excellent performance as a convict named Dale who leads an aborted prison escape attempt.
Rating: - Best of the Prison Films
"Each Dawn I Die", released in 1939, is the best of the prison films which Warner Brothers made in the thirties. Even the title is fantastic. James Cagney plays a reporter working for a newspaper who is exposing the politicians who run the rackets. Cagney is framed, convicted and sent to prison for 10 years as retaliation. There, he meets hardened criminal George Raft.
The film was produced by Hal Wallis and benefits from a bigger budget than most of its predecessors. There is a more ... Read More
Rating: - James Cagney & George Raft? How can you beat that?
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 ... Read More
