Instead, the flick-within-a-film was created specifically for "Home Alone." The fourscore-second clip was shot within an abandoned loftier school in early 1990, at the beginning of the movie'south production, equally Vanity Fair reported in 2015.

The fake picture was heavily inspired past a real film, though: "Angels With Muddy Faces," a 1938 crime film with a cast that featured James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Pat O'Brien.

Cagney stars as Rocky Sullivan, a New York City crook who takes the fall for an attempted armed robbery in exchange for $100,000 and not ratting out his co-conspirator Jim Frazier, played by Bogart.

My unabridged childhood, I thought the quondam timey movie that Kevin watches in Home Alone (Angels With Filthy Souls) was actually an quondam movie.

— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) December 25, 2018

Seth Rogen said in a tweet on Tuesday that he had long believed the scene came from a real flick, tweeting on Tuesday to his 7.79 million followers that he idea "Filthy Souls" was authentic since his "entire childhood."

The scene was an instant striking and has remained a distinct scene from the Christmas movie near 30 years later on.

Recreating the 1930s vibe of Cagney's film proved tricky, yet. Director Chris Columbus told EW in 2015 that "Angels With Even Filthier Souls," which was featured in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," was "probably the virtually difficult part of the shoot" because "it's not like shooting fish in a barrel to recreate the expect and feel and audio of those movies."

Columbus connected: "Thankfully, I'yard obsessed with film, so I'd seen enough of them that information technology was kind of a painstaking chore to get it right. And we had to detect actors that felt like they lived in that item time period, as well, which was an interesting affair. People kind of looked a little differently back so. I don't know, maybe it was the camera, merely nosotros had to discover actors that looked like they existed in the '40s."
