This is wonderful, I loved all of them. I'm just sad it took me this long to find them. They were wonderfully done however. Could you tell me what the movie is at 1:10 with the baby? That seems interesting for obvious reasons. I haven't seen many James Cagney films, but the ones I have seen, not a single baby was involved. I appreciate it.
the term "generousity of spirit " could have come about in reference to this mercurial little dynamo. the only sad thing is Cagney was wasted in mostly nondescript hokum.
This was great. I just watched all 5 parts and its really amazing. Such talent, such a personality. Wonder what he'd have thought of seeing all these clips like this....?
AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIING!! I loved it! Cagney was sooo awesome, funny...and so attractive,he has a je ne sais quoi. i've liked him since the first moment I saw him, he was/is special :) and of course a GREAT actor!.
Thank you so much! :) Viewers can't always appreciate the hours of intricate editing that can go into one of these kinds of videos. Thanks for the compliment. =)
Hi, fellow Cagster! Nice touch to end with "I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard." I know why. =;) Very, very nice. Thank you for your work on these parts!
I'm a huge fan of Cagney. Just discovered those five gems you put together: Bravo, they're absolutely fabulous! As someone commented before, I know where to come if I feel a bit low: the energy, the grace, the punch, the delivery, the charm... thank you so much
Thanks for making/posting these Cagney clip's. Luv them. He sure was a talented guy alright, brilliant in fact. His no-BS style really appeals. He's a relative, great great something, distant. My surname is the same as his. My claim to fame and greatness. Not really, but it's easily remembered.(in older circles)Thanks again. NZ
The only thing that bothers me about these clips are that I can't get a hold of all the films they are from! Taxi is especially frustrating. No one has it and I'm dying to see it!
everytime I watch one of these it's mind-boggling. These are so incredible, how much time does it take you to put these together? You seem to have encyclopedic knowledge of Cagney films (a trait I certainly admire :))
Well thank you very very much. :) As I've gotten more and more into Cagney, I've of course been watching his movies more frequently, so I decided to WRITE down the parts that would be good for my videos (HAHA) So I could go back later and capture. And then from there it's just one big video editing nightmare. ;) A fun one, though!
Hehe, well, according to imdb, he made 68, but personally I wouldn't count a couple of those because his appearance was so limited in them, haha. And some of those were AFTER he was a big enough star to deserve better. What were the studios thinking??
Well Back in those day's you were pretty much owned by the studio.
You sign a deal with say Wanner Brothers and you'd only be able to work with them and you pretty much could only do what they said and could only do the movies the TELL you to do.
I know, and Cagney hated it. He was shelling out like between like 3, 4 and 5 (!!) movies a year. He hated the scripts and regarded the job as a type of "factory work". His earlier films may have not been anything of greatness to him, but they are definitely the favorites among the fans. Who watches a Cagney movies for the content anyway??? Haha

Another tremendous effort! You should be working in Hollywood with your level of editing ability, and I'm sincere in saying that.
We all know Cagney is the master, don't we! He was such a talented and lovable guy. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
