Poetic Film Review: G Men (1935)

i
In the heart of Hollywood's golden age,
Where propaganda met the silver screen's stage,
G Men emerged, a film of crime and thrill,
A tale of justice, duty, and skill.

James Cagney shines as Brick Davis bold,
A lawyer turned G Man, brave and cold,
With Robert Armstrong by his side,
They fight the crime with honor and pride.

Amidst the action and shootouts grand,
A romance blooms in the lawless land,
But cliches and codes weigh heavy and true,
Restricting the tale to a narrow view.

Despite its flaws, G Men did succeed,
In painting the G Men as heroes in need,
Of praise and respect, of glory and fame,
A tribute to those who played the game.

So let us remember this film of old,
A relic of a time long told,
Where Hollywood and government did blend,
In G Men, a story that will never end.
