EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1939, a time when cinema was at its peak and iconic actors George Raft and James Cagney graced the silver screen. The image showcases these two legends in their unforgettable roles in William Keighley's "Each Dawn I Die". Set within the confines of a prison, the photograph captures the intensity and raw emotion that both Raft and Cagney brought to their characters. Their expressions tell stories of hardship, resilience, and determination as they navigate through a world filled with despair. George Raft, known for his suave demeanor on-screen, portrays an inmate who finds himself unjustly imprisoned. His piercing gaze reflects his unwavering spirit despite being trapped behind bars. On the other hand, James Cagney's magnetic presence exudes strength as he embodies a hardened prisoner fighting against corruption within the system. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth to this timeless image while emphasizing the stark reality faced by those confined within prison walls during that era. It serves as a reminder of how film can transport us into different worlds and shed light on societal issues. This remarkable print is not only a testament to George Raft and James Cagney's exceptional acting abilities but also pays homage to British Film Institute's dedication in preserving cinematic history for generations to come.
