10/10
one of the best
19 September 2006
I think this is one of the best movies ever made. It is an excellent character study and depiction of alcoholism, much better than "Lost Weekend". I hope that it will become available on DVD at some point. James Cagney was a remarkable actor and his ability to play flawed human beings as well as 'cartoon' characters in his comedies make his movies a joy to watch. Unfortunately I have been unable to watch this movie since sometime in the 1970s as I can never find it listed showing on TV anywhere and cannot locate a tape of it. Maybe someone somewhere will resurrect this wonderful movie and make it known to new generations of movie viewers. One can only hope.
