Oy! Had I known "Angels With Dirty Faces" was gonna force open your throat and shovel religion down your maw like ipecac, I would've hauled ass to the hills. As it stands, this film is nothing more than a Public Service Announcement for the lord. Who needs Reform School when you can simply peddle this diatribe to juvenile delinquents? Yes, yes, all the actors were on point, and it was nice to get a nice glimpse into criminal life from that era, but oy! The heavy handed use of religion does leave a somewhat bitter taste. That approach never worked then and it sure as hell doesn't fly today.
