Of course Cagney's appearance in it alone makes it essential. Another excellent review at Mondo 70.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-5704256355715109642011-11-12T23:45:46.869-05:002011-11-12T23:45:46.869-05:00Judy, you can probably measure Code enforcement by...Judy, you can probably measure Code enforcement by O'Brien's greater moral dominance of his later teamings with Cagney, even though Cagney always remains the top star. And you're correct about the recent broadcast, which as I recall was part of a run of films set aboard ships.

I've only seen it once when it was briefly posted online, but definitely remember it as mainly a vehicle for Cagney, who comes out joyously on top, as you say - I know that the sight of the Arizona and the airship is poignant now because of the fate they both met. I'd also agree that it does have a pre-Code feel to it, with the jokes about Cagney and McHugh that you mention.Judyhttp://movieclassics.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
