Jeez, I saw a lot of Cagney movies. The original tough guy.
Did you know they used live ammo in the early movies, including
Cagney's gangster movies? Read it in wiki. Surprised me.

I liked Cagney a lot, but I always thought he was over the top. But he
sure was great to watch. I preferred Edward G. Robinson myself. They
were both top actors.

Taking a 93 year old woman out on a boat. Why would anyone think that is a

What's next.........asking if he took her out to do some tubing off the

We took my wife's 88 y/o aunt out for a quick spin in the runabout
last year. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

And it's me that's selling the boat


Anyway, I never watched any of those movies, just to stay on topic

Richard Widmark in Kiss of Death. Cagney smashed a grapefruit into Mae
Clarke's face in Public Enemy.
