Trivia
- It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (James Cagney), Best Director and Best Writing, Original Story.
- A spoof of the film appears in Home Alone as Angels with Filthy Souls. In the parody, Gangster Johnny fires a lengthy machine gun salvo before remarking, "Keep the change, ya filthy animal." In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, a sequel from the last movie is Angels with Even Filthier Souls. In the sequel, Johnny fires his Tommy gun before saying "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal. And a Happy New Year.". In the two movies, Kevin uses it as an illusion to think that it was Johnny in the house.
- The famous Irish bar "Rocky Sullivan's Pub" in New York City was named after Cagney's character.
