In Reply to: "The Underworld:" perhaps the first "modern" gangster film and certainly, in 1921, the one that posted by tinear on May 30, 2012 at 12:32:33:
I believe Underworld was released in 1928.
Yes, Underworld is a superb film; most of Von Sternberg's late silent and early sound films are brilliant and groundbreaking for their time.
Highly recommended.
