  1. Thank you very much for this very enjoyable upload. It brings back memories of watching these b/w when I was a kid in the 1960s'. Now my 12yo nephew enjoys them! It goes to show that classics always endure throughout in time.

  2. Typical Cagney flix. He plays another " Lippy " hero. His girlfriend is a bitch. He always gets double-crossed by some jerk and then has a huge fight scene where he beats the crud out of the villain.

  3. Thank You,Video Cellar4 Sharing this entertaining movie! Mr.Cagney was always Good in any movie he was in,in his career! Ms.Clark& rest of actors very good,also!

  4. According to James Cagney's autobiography Cagney By Cagney, (Published by Doubleday and Company Inc 1976, and ghost written by show biz biographer Jack McCabe), a Mafia plan to murder Cagney by dropping a several hundred pound klieg light on top of him was stopped at the insistence of George Raft. Cagney at that time was president of the Screen Actors Guild, and was determined not to let the mob infiltrate the industry. Raft used his many mob connections to cancel the hit.

  5. Cagney being married to the same woman while being in Hollywood says a lot of a man. Everyday he could of gotten a divorce surrounded by the enticement of Hollywood. He is true man!
