Here is a funny video pertaining to the latest review, Angels With Dirty Faces. This is an interview with James Cagney and Pat O'Brien from the 1970s for the BBC. The entire clip is only about two and a half minutes, but the best part is from about the 1:50 mark on. Cagney tells a story about a kid he meets who wants the real info on Rocky. This is funny stuff!

Yes indeed Dave, it is funny stuff, especially that late anecdote. It's amazing how aged Cagney looks there, more so than Pat O'Brien, but he was winding down. Great trip down memory lane here!
ReplyDeleteSam - Until I started looking into this film, I honestly was unaware of how personally close Cagney and Pat O'Brien were. I knew that they had appeared in something like nine films together, but it's "neat" (cheesy word, I know, but fitting!) to see that they truly were good friends. It certainly came across in Angels With Dirty Faces.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your blog! Great stuff. The Cagney series has been spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThanks, C.K.! As you can see, I've had a link up to your blog for a few days (which is a long time considering the entire life of this blog is only a little over a week!). Your blog is excellent as well and I'll be joining in comments in your neck of the woods as well. Our areas of interest are very similar, so the two blogs should compliment each other pretty well.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, Dave! I wish the entire interview were available.
