We miss and love you James Cagney. You're a great actor as well as these other actors in the movie 🎥. You bring a magnetic energy to every movie you make.

I remember the first time I watched James Cagney in a movie, always heard about him and how he played the toughs guys, but the movie I'm speaking of was "Yankee doodle dandy" and let me tell you, he was incredible, I couldn't believe, how I was clued to the television, just watching him dance and sing, ever since that day I watched every Cagney movie I could find, I always though he was the greatest actor I ever watched, I just loved him in every movie, he was also a wonderful human being away from Hollywood.

Never saw a bad Cagney movie. Many thanks for sharing. Really excellent script...

Sylvia Sydney (1910 - 1999) had a remarkable career spanning more than seventy years and unlike so many popular female stars of the 1930s, she kept getting roles as a middle aged and then elderly lady - for example, she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1973 for her performance in Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973). In 1985, she won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in An Early Frost and in 1988 she won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. Her first film in 1927 was Broadway Nights and by the early 1930s she was an established star often playing the girlfriend or sister of a gangster. She appeared with Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracey, Henry Fonda, Joel McCrea, Frederic March, George Raft and Gary Grant. In 1936 she starred in Hitchcock's British film Sabotage which was a smash hit and she was earning a staggering $10,000 a week and she earned $80,000 for Sabotage. Her career dimmed somewhat in the 1940s and in 1949 exhibitors voted her "box office poison" but she bounced back and went on to play highly successful character parts in movies and on TV. Her final film was another Tim Burton production, Mars Attacks in 1996.

i am a great admirer of Silvia Sidney. I met her once in Bangor, Maine in 1956 when she was doing a summer performance, live on stage. Afterwards I went backstage and introduced myself. She was in her dressing room alone and packing her suitcase as it had been the last performance of the play. She was a tiny lady, She had the most wrinkled face skin of anyone I've ever seen. It did not show on stage, nor any movie I ever saw her in. How this was managed is beyond me. A great actress.

Years ago, one of the reviewers for this film sniffed, "It is a clear example of anti-Japanese sentiment..the tone and direction of the movie." Hello??, of course. This was 1945. Keeping history in context, Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor and we had just literally ended the Second World War. Our perception of the Japanese, xenophobia at its highest, and not without good reason because of atrocities upon American prisoners in the war. Excellent material for a thesis: Hollywood's treatment of this subject. I'd partner this with 'Japanese War Bride", and "Sayonara", and maybe even "Bridge to the Sun", all showing the way cinema handles this subject. Though I'm sure it's been done. But back to this film - I always thought Cagney a much better actor than many gave him credit for..and Sylvia is excellent as well!

Cagney was a real life golden glove boxer and black belt Judoka before Olympic Judo training replaced traditional Judo training methods in the west. The flick kick, edge of hand strike and heel palm strikes seen in this fight scene are all part of old school Judo self-defense/unarmed combat training (not used in competitive Judo). The boxing Cagney mixes with his Judo comes from his golden glove background and growing up as a street fighter in New York City where he had to face a lot of bullies due to his small stature. Cagney trained all of his life in Boxing and Judo to remain fit.

Although Cagney is light on his feet, and actually did a lot of the throws himself in this film. It was Cagney's stuntman that did the heavy lifting (pun intended!) during the last fight scene. Between the expert camera work, the great editing, and the fact that the stuntman was a real expert at hiding his face, this was extremely impressive, especially for the time. WOW!
