...that they are un-Chinese in important respects. If they ever laid hands on the Dictator, whose troops have killed thousands of Chinese Communists, they would not be troubled in the least by his refusal to say anything before they either chopped off his head or made him squeal by administering "the 10,000 Deaths...
...elephants began to squeal and stamp. Throughout the zoo rose a jungle din of roars, howls, screams, snarls. Rudolph Bjork and another keeper seized an iron rod and an elephant hook, began beating and prodding at the maddened beast through the paddock bars. His little eyes bloodred, Wally flourished his trunk at them, went on stamp'ng and gouging his victim.

It is then a comparatively simple matter to get one of Cagney's former sweethearts to squeal on her husband, and the claws of justice unflex with telling effect. "G-Men" manages to keep its sympathies on the sunny side of the law, and is thus an improvement over previous films of the gangster type. Those critics who do not find the diminutive James attractive will rejoice...
