- DirectorCharles LedererStarsJames CagneyShirley JonesRoger SmithJake MacIllaney will do just about anything to win the presidential election of longshoreman union Local 26. When he encounters young upright attorney Dan Cabot and Cabot's attractive wife, Linda, MacIllaney breaks up their marriage, pursues Linda, and pins a grand larceny rap on Dan. And all set to music!DWN - Cara Williams was super good to look at. So was Shirley Jones as 2nd place to Cara. The gangster/union story was a befuddled mess. Other than Cagney supposedly being a crook, I could not tell what crime he was doing and who were those trying to boss him around. Another Hollywood attempt to try and convince us that a young woman will fall in love with an old duffer. That's their world where old rich guys get young hotties based on their money. Would anyone ever confess to something knowing they would get 20 years in prison? Not a real criminal.

- DirectorFrank LloydStarsJames CagneySylvia SidneyPorter HallA dedicated American reporter in 1930s Japan is determined to expose that government's plan for world domination.Net - Keeping the characters straight within the plot was difficult. The lead in news paper articles made it seem like the plot had already been exposed. I guess the Japanese Govt. was trying to prevent additional exposure the rest of the film. Last minute lady friend and Cagney facing a squad of police and evil doers without a gun was a bit unbelievable. 6/10

- DirectorWilliam KeighleyStarsJames CagneyBette DavisStuart ErwinA financially-strapped charter pilot hires himself to an oil tycoon to kidnap his madcap daughter and prevent her from marrying a vapid band leader.Very nice comedy.
