  • What happened to Shanghai Lil ?????? Please bring it back, YouTube?!

  • We have all become so accustomed to seeing Cagney-as-Cohan, that it must have really been a shock to 1933 audiences! They could never have known he actually started as a "chorus-dancer" on Broadway. Of all the stars my grandfather worked-with thru the years, Cag was only one of three he ever talked-about with real enthusiasm -- the other two: Ann Sheridan and Errol Flynn. Dick Powell & Frank McHugh also remained good-friends of his. They really were like a family at Warners'! R.J.

  • "As long as they have sidewalks you have a job!" OOOOOOOOOOO!

  • In my opinion, better than both "42nd St." and "Goldiggers of 1933" from the same year. So many well-woven plotlines!

  • love this movie, came in just before the code came out. "As long as they have sidewalks you'll have a job". You just wouldn't expect those lines from a 1930s movie.

  • Always wanted to see this!! Loved Gold Diggers of '33 and 42nd Street. I imagine with the pairing of Cagney and Blondell that this is pretty awesome too!

  • Why have You Tube got such a thing agains the Shanghai Nights sequence, one of the greatest dance sequences ,so now have to go out and buy the whole movie , methinks thats probably the Idea !! But they didnt cut By a waterfall ?????

  • At 2:40 is that Princess Leia?

  • "As long as they have sidewalks, you've got a job." Man I love pre-code films. 

  • Clip of a Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler scene at 1:27-1:33:

    "You tried to fool me?"

    "Mmm-hmm."

    "Ah, but what a change! You're beautiful and what a dancer!"

    "Mm-hmm"

    "Is that all you can say? 'Mmm-hmm'?"

    "Mmm-hmm"

    "Well how 'bout a little kiss then?" (leans towards her)

    (moves away) "Unnh-uh. I should say not."

    Classic lines. Why can't movies be like they used to be or even better why can't life be like that? 

  • Since I was a kid, and now I'm 48 I always loved the "Shanghai Lil" number and Cagney/Keeler were classic. He had an odd, stiff legged dance style, but he was great! The melody of the song has been with me all my life.

  • Listen, you cheap stenographer!

    Best insult ever.
