CONVERSE LIKE CAGNEY, 101 ... AND BE ON TOP O' THE WORLD,
By
This review is from: Gangster Speak: 30 Movie Flashcards (Turner Classic Movies) (Cards)
Getting an education in tough guys and bad behavior doesn't get more retro than this. This is a set of flashcards, each featuring a famous one-liner and movie still from all the classic gangster flicks. Fatten up on the skinny on the films and you'll be on top of the world, you dirty rat!

Film noir cards,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gangster Speak: 30 Movie Flashcards (Turner Classic Movies) (Cards)
These cards have lingo from classic b/w gangster films on one side, and an explanation with a film still on the other. The cards also give the character's and star's names, the movie, the release date, and the director. Example: Button = Face with a still of of James Cagney smashing a half-grapefruit in Mae Clarke's face at the breakfast table. The box is nice, it has a ribbon to lift the cards out without forcing or bending them.

This review is from: Gangster Speak: 30 Movie Flashcards (Turner Classic Movies) (Cards)
Okay.. for those of you who are expecting to add this card set to your postcard collection... like I was until I opened this box... they are just normal flash cards. They are not postcards. If you are a postcrosser like me, you dont want to get these cards.
