have you seen my mum arrena, and my father a great big nigger. when i say satans domain is greatest, i mean it in the kindest terms. ancient history, well cagney said to lacy, thi dress is undone, and cagney turned to lacey, good its your turn. Only the great pharoroe wasent, happy with the enslavement of his own, he wanted more, he wanted the enslavement of mankind. in other words the kings of paradise reigned whilst their people starved.
If you have a smartphone you can watch the whole movie on Google video.That the only one they have on there.I looked for Little Ceasar but they dont have it.
Unforgetable. Mozart was a genius in reference to classical music aswell as Cagney was in reference to acting in the classic movies. The atmosphere Cagney shaped in his movies mankind will never see something even close like that. As often as i watch Cagneys movies they never lost its fascination on me - thats the huge difference to other movies...
One of the great gangster films of all time, and a towering perfromance from Cagney. I believe this is #4 on the AFI top ten gangster flicks, behind The Godfather I & II, and Goodfellas.
what a great scene...the way he stands...the fire behind him...the shadows....the light....his leather jacket reflecting the fire..and says that line...pure art....wow!!!
Cagney had the awesome ability to portray a psychopathic killer in a sympathetic way! He was incredible in every film I've seen him in, including this one! Thanks so much for posting.
Yeah I agree with you, although he was crazy through the whole movie he went APESHITS when he heard his Ma was dead. I was like HOLY CRAP!!! I never seen anyone do something like that before.
Man, I saw this movie when I was a young teenager and I have never forgotten those last words. Not only was he a ruthless gangster in this movie but the movie for the most part is an excellent movie. "Made it Ma Top of the World" Thanks Bresson for bringing back some old memories.

Cody Jarred was an unforgettable character. Yep, you did feel sympathy toward him. You wanted him to get away. That attests to Cagney
s ability as an actor. He drew you in. That kind of magnetism is rare in an actor.

Cagney is absolutely electrifying in this. It still thrills me nearly 40 years after I first saw it.
He always said that for him acting was just a way to put groceries on the table but I wonder if he didn't tap into something for this role.
One of the all-time great performances.
