Otis Ferguson

The people and the violence of their action were given as much scope a§ the story would allow; but the story is of the kind that you would have to see to disbelieve.

There have been better exposures of American social injustice -- Warner Brothers have made most of them --but it is good to see the two compact little toughs dealing out their punches and matching each the other's swagger.

Cagney is at his best here, and his partnership with Raft makes for a strong love/hate relationship that drives the picture forward. It may not be one of Cagney's most famous roles, but it's one of his most indelible.

Each Dawn I Die gets its juice from a smashing James Cagney performance as well as a scenario that's as irresistible as it is unlikely.

The picture goes out in a blast of bombs and bullets: odd that it leaves so little impression behind.
