It's a really cool gangster film, and Jeff is easily one of the most interesting characters in ANY gangster film ever....drunk, intellectual, gay...gotta love him! And Robert Taylor and Lana Turner are pretty cool, too. Plus there's lots of snappy dialogue and a really cute greyhound named Gypsy. If you get the chance, you should definitely see it.
I am quite sure that moviegoers and TV viewers have at least imagined fanfiction, if not written it down, since the invention of the flickers. Heck, there was LITERATURE-based fanfic in the 19th century! Honest to God! Thackeray hated the ending of Scott's Ivanhoe so much that he wrote and published a sequel called Rebecca and Rowena!
