Doorway to Hell is geared towards the baby-boomers and maybe those in their late 40s. Lew Ayres and James Cagney are the big draw for this movie. The plot is a typical mob movie for this time (30 s and 40s). Doorway to Hell is a good late night movie to watch with a beer (if you drink) or a cup of hot cocoa along with a relaxing bowl of popcorn. The movie moves along at an okay pace, but let's face it -- it is not an action movie. It is a movie with flavor. The movie provides an enjoyable way to pass the time and not over excite you nor scare you into nightmares. I particularly enjoy watching James Cagney in mob movies. It is a role well suited to him.
