This review is going to be a little biased because I am a big James Cagney fan. The plot of the film was one half about taxis and the other half was a love story/gangster motion picture. The films plot almost played like a bad B movie I have rated on here from time to time (i will not review those films unless i have reason to) . The film is however memorable for the famous mis quoted line in the film "you dirty rat" also the scene were Loretta young and James Cagney were in a dancing competition which was my personal favorite because it stared future scarface actor geroge raft in an uncredited role and the dancing competition reminded me of my grandmother who said she and my grandfather would go to dance competitions when they were younger. The films flaw was the plot besides the memorable scenes. Oh wait major spoiler donald cook is in this film (donald cook played james cagneys brothers in the public enemy 1931) he plays an actor james cagney takes his girlfriend to go see the movie with. While James Cagneys character is watching the film he says "his ears are too big" referring to Donald Cook. I did not like Leila Bennett in this film and maybe it was because of her voice.
