"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.
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.
