Angels with Dirty Faces 1938
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
"Alright Rocky. Supposing I take the money and I kid myself it's a means to an end. Well, it isn't. Never will be. Inside the center my boys will be clean and outside they'd be surrounded by the same rotten corruption and crime and criminals. Yes, yourself included. Criminals on all sides for my boys to look up to and revere and respect and admire and imitate. What earthly good is it for me to teach that honesty is the best policy when all around they see that dishonesty is a better policy?"
