James Cagney, Dorothy Malone

Universal Studios, 2008

CAGNEY IS REMARKABLE!
If you haven't seen this movie; it is PRICELESS! Cagney gives what might be the best performance of his life. He should have gotten an Academy Award for this touching yet strong role. Highly recommended!

A Midsummer Night's Dream

James Cagney, Joe E. Brown

Warner Home Video, 2007

WARNER'S "PRESTIGE" FOLLY - ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL !
A beautiful print with excellent extras. One could certainly quibble about whether or not it's "Shakespeare" - But who cares, it's fantastically conceived and BEAUTIFULLY photographed. The cast is eclectic, to say the least - But in nutty sort of way, inspired ...

Ragtime

Brad Dourif, Milos Forman

Paramount, 2004

RAGTIME uncut on DVD
I can't understand why so many reviewers are claiming that the RAGTIME disc contains a cut version of this film, missing 40 minutes of footage. I picked up a copy recently, and it's definitely uncut, running exactly 155 minutes

One, Two, Three

Chris Allen, Leon Askin

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Where was his Oscar?
If ever anyone deserved an Oscar for his/her performance it was James Cagney in One, Two, Three. He was brilliant. It was non-stop comedy and even after all these years it is as funny as in 1962 when it was made. Forget the rubbish the studios are turning out today and ...

Yankee Doodle Dandy (Two-Disc Special Edition)

James Cagney, Ann Sothern

Warner Home Video, 2003

A Genuine Classic!
Wow! What a classic movie this is. It's from a different era and probably seems too schmaltzy and contrived. Still, it is a terrific movie in its own terms. James Cagney is a credible song and dance man as he plays the great showman George M. Cohan. His dancing down ...

Mister Roberts

Henry Fonda, James Cagney

Warner Home Video, 1998

One Of The Greats
Wonderful showcase for all actors envolved. What a splendiferous way to say goodbye to Powell and hello to Lemon - Fonda and Cagney don't hurt either.

Warner's top-tier gangster movie properties
It's interesting to compare the three stars of these movies - Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, and Humphrey Bogart - and their styles in each of these movies. "Little Caesar" and "Public Enemy" were made when prohibition was still in effect and gangland crime was ...

White Heat

James Cagney, Virginia Mayo

Warner Home Video, 2005

Perfect Gangster film till "The Godfather"...
James Cagney was a force in Hollywood during the first half of the 20th century. He put out numerous films that set the stage for acting schools to pop culture references that it's a shame he isn't remember today like some of the other actors in his generation. ...

The Public Enemy

The Public Enemy
Wellman's "The Public Enemy" launched the film career of a pugnacious Irish-American from Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen who started out as a dancer, only to become the toughest tough guy of them all: Jimmy Cagney, never cockier than he is here. Since organized crime was a ...

Angels With Dirty Faces

James Cagney, Pat O'Brien

Warner Home Video, 2005

A CLASSIC! CAGNEY & BOGART?...........AND THERE'S MORE?
This has been a favorite of mine for many years. I wish they would released "Crime School" on DVD! What is the problem?? The whole cast is great in this tale of two childhood friends who take two very different paths as the result of a dumb idea and one of the boys ...

The Fighting 69th

James Cagney, Pat O'Brien

Warner Home Video, 2007

THE FIGHTING 69TH
This was without a doubt on of the best war movies I have ever watched and I've watched a bunch. The story was magnificent, a master piece. James Cagney and the rest of the cast were supurb. A DVD worth holding on to.

"Tough Guys" collection renamed
The Warner Gangsters Collection Volume 2 is a renamed version of the Tough Guys set issued in mid-2006 (and which still seems to be on sale). What follows is my review of the original set, which should apply to this one as well. A couple years ago, Warner Brothers ...
