Pictures, directed by Alfred E. Green, and starring Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney. It is the only occasion Robinson and Cagney appeared in a film together, despite being the two leading actors, mainly portraying gangsters, at Warner Bros. studios throughout the 1930s. Smart Money was shot after Robinson's signature film Little Caesar had been released and during the filming of Cagney's breakthrough performance in The Public Enemy, which is how Cagney came to play a supporting role. ## Credits - **Director:** [Alfred Edward Green](https://cinepixo.com/people/alfred-edward-green) - **Producer:** [Alfred Edward Green](https://cinepixo.com/people/alfred-edward-green) - **Screenplay:** [Joseph Jackson](https://cinepixo.com/people/joseph-jackson), [John Bright](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-bright), [Kubec Glasmon](https://cinepixo.com/people/kubec-glasmon), [Lucien Hubbard](https://cinepixo.com/people/lucien-hubbard) - **Original Music Composer:** [Leo F.
