Description
Cagney has just gunned down several members of a rival bootlegging gang. Staggering onto the street severely wounded he mutters "I ain't so tough."
"Louise Brooks was the original choice for Gwen Allen, a woman with self-confessed weakness for bad men. She refused the role, which went to a much younger actress, Jean Harlow. Brooks' name was in studio records/casting call lists playing 'Bess' in this movie, but she and her character, did not appear.
Brooks later explained herself to Wellman (who had directed her in Beggars of Life (1928)) by saying that she hated making pictures because she simply "hated Hollywood." In the opinion of Brooks's biographer Barry Paris, "turning down Public Enemy marked the real end of Louise Brooks's film career."
