Description

James Cagney and Joan Blondell star as a wanna-be con man and the girl who can drive any man Blonde Crazy. Conniving bellhop Bert Harris (Academy Award winner Cagney) uses Ann Roberts (Blondell) as a lure to scam a jewelry salesman (Guy Kibbee) out of $5,000, and the pair head to New York City. But this small-time swindler in the Big Apple is soon scammed out of his cash. And Roberts realizes she can work alone by conning straight-arrow Joe Reynolds (Academy Award winner Ray Milland) into marriage--and a permanent meal ticket. When Harris turns to real crime to get the money to win Roberts back--and Roberts realizes she can't lead a life as a respectable wife--he lands in prison, and she vows to wait for him in this pre-Hayes Code comic romance.

    This movie was great. Cagney is funny, but it's not raunchy like movies are today. His acting is what's funny and that's what I like, not perverted nonsense.
  • Snappy dialog replete with 1930s slang

    Cagney goes way over the speed limit, as he often did in these classic movies, spitting out witty wisecracks and clever phrases constantly as he cheerfully cheats every mug with a buck he can find. Blondell looks lost, sad and beautiful throughout. It's a sexy, slightly amoral pre-code comedy, one of the best Warners Brothers has to offer from this time.
