Rating: - WHAT A WONDERFUL MOVIE ABOUT THE GOOD OL DAYS
In a nut shell, this is a fantastic Jame Cagney movie. I would have to say that this ranks right up there alongside Yankee Doodle Dandy. The acting is first rate, the music is fantastic, especially the haunting background music (WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN)that is played when James and Olivia meet in the park. I also love the follow along singing of "And the Band Played On" at the end of the movie. My only negative is that this movie has not been released to dvd as of yet. I also wish there was ...

Rating: - A departure from Cagney's early gangster roles
Almost all of Cagney's early roles were that of a gangster or a fast-talking con-man. Starting in the 40's as the major studios ramped up their production of patriotic films in anticipation of war, Cagney starred in some military roles such as "The Fighting 69th" and "Captains of the Clouds". However, it was still the same old wise-cracking gangster or con-man - he was just in uniform. Don't get me wrong, I never get tired watching Cagney play these kinds of parts, but I've read that the typecasting ... Read More
Rating: - A Blast from the Past
I must have watched this movie dozens of times on TV while I was growing up and besides all Bette Davis movies, this was one of my very favorites. Somehow it came up in convrsation today and I decided I needed to add it to my DVD collection if it was available. I'm willing to wait for it to ocme out, it brings back such wonderful memories!
Rating: - "Oh, a college boy! I'm REALLY scared now!"
This has got to be one of James Cagney's greatest films outside of his gangster movies. It's a grand trip into the world as it was at the turn of the century. Alan Hale was fantastic as Cagney's father, and no matter how many times I've seen it, he never fails to crack me up. This movie spotlighted Cagney's talent for comedic timing, and surrounded him with fantastic actors, least of which, the legendary, and beautiful Olivia de Havilland and Rita Hayworth.
This is a movie the whole family ... Read More
Rating: - And The Band Played On....Forever
I have heard nothing but positive comments about this movie. I loved it!! Bought it on VHS, sight unseen about 15 years ago, and I have watched a million times since then. Rita Hayworth is superb, James Cagney gives his best performance ever, Olivia DeHaviland shows us what every woman should be like, Alan Hale shows us his comical genius(far better than The Skipper) and even Jack Carson delivers his lines like no other. This movie is classic, beautiful, thought provoking and a great time. Ending it by signing ... Read More
