* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack (especially the tap dancing scene and the deleted songs added back into the recut) are appropriately catchy and stirring to capture the atmosphere of TheRoaringTwenties, and some fans wish there had been more music and less gangland drama in the film.
* EnsembleDarkHorse: Frenchy is probably the best-liked supporting character due to his moving and humorous VillainousFriendship with his boss. It helps that Creator/FredGwynne plays him.
