old friend from New York & Hollywwod...
I've put the movie Public Enemy on my movie queue. I believe I've seen it-probably more than once- but it was long ago.
Aviator, I think I've heard the same info-similar to the "Play it again Sam"line in Casablanca.
1st of all Public Enemies of 09 is not a remake of the Public Enemy of 1931.
But they do dwell on crime/criminals of the same era.
He never said...Play It again sam...the line was...Play It Sam...
