James Cagney meets The Dead End Kids

My mother worked at Binion's Horseshoe in Vegas one night Cagney had a meal in the restaurant. My mom had the book "Cagney by Cagney " in her purse not only did he sign the book but left her a $5 dollar bill which he also signed "Top of the world to you! Jimmy Cagney" Moms gone now but I have the book and the bill she used to use for its bookmark. I'll never forget how excited she was that day. Born in 1929 she grew up watching his movies and turned me on to them as a teen. Top of the world you are Ma...and you too Jimmy 🙏🙏

James Cagney was so versatile. Public Enemy, Angels With Dirty Faces, The Strawberry Blond, & Yankee Doodle Dandy. All different, and all showed his incredible talent. Married to 1 woman for 64 years, actor, dancer, and a true light in cinema history. A well spent life of 87 years.

Cagney could say more with a shrug or facial expression than 99% of actors could with a page of dialogue.

Even while playing a bad guy, James Cagney had lots of class and personality.

"Next time you roll a guy for his dough, make sure he don't know your hideout. Unnerstand? C'mere suckers. Unnerstand?"

This movie hasn't lost a step since it was filmed. Absolute brilliance. Now I want to see the whole thing.

Loved the last line from Pat O’Brien in the final scene “Let’s say a prayer for a kid who could not run as fast as I could.”

There was always something magic about Cagney! Always!

Read his autobiography a while back..everything you admire about the man is magnified 100X as he discusses his life, his peers, his ethics...A true gentleman in all respects.

No one like Cagney. The best!!

Never bother anybody in your own neighbourhood...

the fact this oldie has a million views even in current times, just goes to show how great of a movie it is

These old movies are timeless. I prefer to watch a movie like this than most movies today. Writers today have run very thin on plot’s and genre .

I love this movie. I remember years ago when I was a kid James Cagney was at an awards ceremony I believe it was maybe the Oscars? He came out on the stage in a wheelchair with a standing ovation too bad the Youth of today doesn't know what real good movies are and real good actors.

I remember seeing this in the 70’s when I was a kid, and also watching the Bowery boys. Memories!!!

NOBODY LIKE CAGNEY...he dances like a dream..acted like a legend..handsome with the devils twinkle in his eye....THE BEST....theyll NEVER be another.....WALK THE WILD.STREETS JIMMY💗💗💗

No one could fill the screen like James Cagney.

That is a brilliant film and James Cagney should have gotten an Oscar for his brilliant acting in this

Cagney was showing them mugs. Remember watching when I was little. Lot a respect for Cagney.

Cagney deserved the Oscar as best actor in 1938 (for this movie), in 1942 for Yankee Doodle Dandy, and in 1949 for White Heat. He only won the Oscar once, but he will always be the most influential actor (along with Bogart) of the 30s and 40s
