James Cagney was one if a kind. Never saw him in a bad film. Thank you for all of the films he made. Im a babyboomer and starting watching him at 6 yrs of age. Always loved his acting prowess. Im 75 and still loving him. Thanks for the memories! RIP Mr. Cagney.
I'm 74 from New Jersey. As a kid I remember " Million Dollar Movie " . Every Wednesday a new movie played ALL WEEK until Tuesday! You really understood a movie after seeing it all week!
That was on WOR Channel 9. From 7:30 PM until 9 PM. The background music intro was "Tara's Theme", from GONE with the Wind! The best of times! Every day was an adventure ✨!
I enjoy this type of movie because it helps to remind me of being grateful for never doing crazy things that are depicted in this film . There was a retired Merchant Marine in my neighborhood and friend ly . He showed us kids to box and other things. He said it would help keep us out of trouble . He told me once you don't want to go to prison doing something stupid you go to prison for robbing a bank, jewelry store . I understood what he meant and took it to heart and it worked. I am grateful too this day. I am over 70 . Thanks for the memory and movie
A Cagney Lover, can't believe I've bever seen this movie! Very familiar with Ms.Payton, another underrated Actress, in my opinion, with both, and All, playing their Parts to Perfection! A True Player, a Woman Scorned, finding out everything, the Woman, Only knowing the World, herself, brought up, surrounded in, knowing absolutely Nothing of the other 2!
I went to the cemetery where Cagney is buried at with his wife. I was 11 going on 12 years old when James Cagney died. I watched Yankee Doodle Dandy and I was blown away by James Cagney talent. I read his book and took off to NY to go do what Cagney did. I have a Cagney shirt and went to visit Cagney. I was the only person there and I was able to grieve. Cagney was a great actor and person! I'm greatful for what James Cagney taught me. We truly love you and your hard work 💕💋.
i had the recognition of his face and you put his name there, thanks a bunch from Eindhoven sunday may 5th we celebrate our liberation day from the nazis altough they did a bombing on 6th 1944, hi 5 to liberationmen 101stAirborne
So far no one has come forward with anything about James Cagney except what an awesome person he was to work with. My personal opinion is that he was always interesting to watch. He’s a savage once again! And very few actors have had so many savage roles in their careers as Mr. Cagney.
Cagney was a real pro, he didn't carry his onscreen persona to real life and in real life was just another decent human being that did not draw attention to himself. He always supported his fellow actors during production, a team player.
William Frawley (Fred Mertz of I love lucy) was always the same. He was born that way. Never younger, a few things a tiny bit older but he never changed! Good movie so far.
Cagney was a dynamic actor - he was riveting - watch his every move - he steals every scene - Wonderful dancer -as well - did he overact ? I dont know - it hardly matters he made many Signature films over a long long career -
I love this movie, actually it's in the top five Cagney made. Of course the dialogue doesn't hurt either. I'm with you 💯 so much better than the bleep bleep they show today...
James Cagney was thee greatest actor ever!😊 I was a kid when CAGNEY died but, I just went to NY and went to James Cagney grave! 😢😢 It was just me at James Cagney grave. For the entire time I was there I visited his grave many times. It's a beautiful cemetery where he's at. Not sure if his grandkids come to visit him but, his kids and wife are dead. I went to restaurants he ate at, Grand Central station where he went, etc. I was going to honor James Cagney and I had a blast doing it. I educated the Cops and the property department about James Cagney. I feel like James CAGNEY is a great guy off camera too as well as on camera. I feel like he could be my second Daddy. He's awesome and I'm going back for Thanksgiving 🦃 to visit again with flowers. America loves you Jimmy CAGNEY. RIP.
This was one of the pictures that Cagney family produced as part of the deal by which they were required to make White Heat in return for their own control over other subsequent titles..this guy is almost as nutty as Cody Jarrett
This movie is 🔥 , its definatly not "Public Enemy" or "Angels With Dirty Faces" or "White Heat" but definitely in Cagneys top 5 regardless in my book along with "The Man Of A Thousand Faces" Other good Cagney films is "One , Two Three" & "The Roaring Twenties" & "Each Dawn I Die" & "Underworld" & "Smart Money" & "Strawberry Blonde" & "The Lady Killer" & ofcorse "Yankee Doodle Dandy".... all legendary Cagney films ❤
Good film. Barbara Payton is very good. Her good looks steals every scene. Tragically, I think this was the highlight of her acting career. Alcohol & bad choices in men ruined her life.
"We need the name of a good lawyer to help us out with this . . . Doc Greene . . . He doesn't sound like a lawyer . . . He ain't, and he ain't no doctor either. And I'll tell you something else he ain't, he ain't to be trusted . . . Why should he be different?" Now that's film noir dialog.
My favorite Actor’s of 1950 ‘s fame were James Cagney , Edward G. Robinson , Rod Striger, , James Stewart , Robert Mitchum , and there classic film’s . On TCM ) Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye . I just watched for the first time .
My only complaint: The audio is weak. The volume is low and the bass is almost non-existent. Could you please fix that, dear uploader? Lots of thanks and love from India.
I can't decide which character Cagney played was more villainous, this one or Cody Jarrett in White Heat. I think it's this one. At least Cody Jarrett was good to his mother.
@@user-wy1dl2me2p Yes, that is definitely the top three. I still lean more towards Kiss Tmrw Goodbye. In the other 2 films, the characters at least had mothers they were fond of. In Kiss Tmrw Goodbye, he was too awful to care about anyone.
I'm 74 and watched all the great movies on TV as a little kid. I don't know of any actor who can play a tough gangster in one film then play George M. Cohan in " Yankee Doodle Dandy" , an amazing movie ! Can Bogart or Edward G. dance ?😂😂😅 and get away with it?😂
Humphrey Bogart became a tough guy in the movies after a stint in the Navy during World War I it's funny how all those great actors have one thing in common they grew up in New York City when it was a real jungle of immigrants from Europe. Jimmy Cagney used to be able to speak Yiddish.
@@richspinaci8293 Okay. So Mr. Cagney, was still working "White Heat", out of his system, when he made this movie, and someone said, "We really shouldn't let this all this great Psychotic Gangster energy go to waste!" LOL
I wish these channels would STOP putting up those banners for other movies over the end of the movie that's playing, makes it so you cant see the last part of the movie.
Cagney was typecasted. He was at one his best in Yankee Doodle Dandy. He has a sense of humor and would have been good in the old war movies. I'd like to have seen him in a love story or two.
The only quote that comes to mind is "HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED"!😂😂😂😂😂 what a great movie! 2cd time seeing this in don't know how many years! Cagney is so dramatic in all his "death " scenes! 👏👏👏👏👏👏Bravo!❤
Cagney walks like a dancer and he was a good one. Like Christopher Walken. People he worked with said they didn't want to dance like him, they just wanted to be able to walk like him. Both good looking men.
Not a bad gangster movie. Standard plot and the bad guy Cagney again predictable but much better than the junk they make today. Maybe include the credits and wait 'til it's over to cover the screen with ads. TY.
“Kiss” is new to me. It’s a surprise violent thriller released after White Heat. Cagney plays a ruthless a-hole. In the first few minutes he shoots character actors, William Frawley AND Neville Brand!! Too bad. The actors would have helped balance out the cast since Cagney is in every scene. Of course, Cagney is always watchable and his sadistic, psychopathic behavior is fascinating.
Yes, why do I have to watch this dishonest, annoying advertisement everytime I watch a classical movie? Just install an adblocker it is the perfect solution.
You are getting this movie for free, stop whingeing ! It makes it safer for the guy doing this for you. If you want credits there are plenty of movies out there you can pay for that have them.
Ralph Cotter is a career criminal who, while escaping from a prison work camp, kills his escape partner, Carleton. On the outside, Cotter ultimately woos Carleton's sister, Holiday, by threatening to expose the fact that she was involved in arranging the prison break. Holiday does not know that Cotter killed her brother. There are hints of a sadomasochistic bond between the two in a scene where Cotter is provoked to whip Holiday with a wet towel, after which she passionately embraces him. Cotter quickly gets back into the crime game-only to be shaken down by corrupt local cops. Things become more complicated with each plan, and worsen when he turns the tables on the bad cops. Finally, Holiday discovers that Cotter killed her brother and that he is dumping her for a wealthy young heiress. She is thrown into a violent rage.
Just thought I'd let you know that the frequent ads are a total distraction from the movie. I found this movie on many other channels so I'm not finishing it here.
did you notice the mug shot police file says (Cagney) the mobster age was 37; laughs.......Cagney was 51 years old at the time of the movie. Barbara Payton (his girl). was 23 years old, just a kid compared to Cagney. but that's Hollywood, the male stars are always 20-30 years older than the women.
The tractors at 4:20 are a Minneapolis Moline Z or R, Allis Chalmers WC - newer style that looks like a WD, and a Minneapolis Moline U (or maybe a G) propane model.
