Curiosidades

Picture Snatcher is a 1933 American pre-Code comedy-drama film directed by Lloyd Bacon and starring James Cagney as a reformed gangster who pursues his dream to be a photojournalist.

Production

Patricia Ellis, who plays Cagney's love interest Pat Nolan, was only 14 years old when the film was released. As Ellis had lied about her age when she signed her Warner Bros. contract in 1932, the studio believed her to be two years older than she actually was.

In preparation for the role, James Cagney spent a day in the office of a Los Angeles newspaper learning about the editorial, photographic and typesetting processes.

During filming, Alice White was knocked unconscious and nearly lost teeth when a misplaced punch from Cagney struck her in the head.
