{"product_id":"0888574295240","title":"Public Hero No. 1","description":"The stringent censorship imposed upon Hollywood of the mid-1930s dictated that gangsters could no longer be the \"heroes\" in any crime film. Public Hero No. 1 reflects this restriction. G-Man Chester Morris poses as a crook to infiltrate the notorious Purple Gang, a band of hoodlums which preys upon other hoodlums. Orchestrating the jailbreak of the Gang's leader (Joseph Calleia), Morris joins him in a Dillinger-like flight across the country. The bloody denouement, which occurs in a vaudeville theatre, is likewise drawn from the Dillinger saga (that particular gentleman was of course killed in front of a movie house). Also featured in Public Hero No. 1 is Jean Arthur as the heroine (a comic role) and Lionel Barrymore as a drunken gang doctor. The film was remade as The Getaway in 1942.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47091899564272,"sku":"0888574295240","price":22.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0888574295240_p0.jpg?v=1763896588","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0888574295240","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
