4.0 out of 5 stars A small film but a great vehicle for Cagney, 9 Mar 2005
By alanf1135 "Al." (Greenock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Cagney Great Guy [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
This is what James Cagney is all about, wisecracks, cockiness, hard as nails and no-nosense charisma.

The film is about Johnny Cave, the Deputy Chief of the Department of Weights and Measures as he fights against widespread corruption instigated by 'Respectable' businessman Abel Canning.

Although the plot sounds serious, the film is anything but. It is done in the goofball comedy style that was prevalent in the 30's and works especially his 'bickering' with fiance Mae Clark and his reactions to the tall stories of his colleague James Burke.

This is a definate for any fan of Cagney but what raises it from ordinary to 4 star rating is the dialogue and the great cast that delivers it. Dialogue is good but it is nothing unless it is delivered and bounces off all characters involved. This is done well by all throughout.

This is not a classic of the 30's but its good entertainment and thoroughly enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars cagney is never bad, 28 Nov 2008
This review is from: James Cagney Great Guy [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
You know it will be a good film when you know that James Cagney is in it. And this little known gem is an example of how even his earlier work was performed with that Cagney touch. Plus you get to see Cagney's tough man stance very early in his career.!A good film, have a look.
