| User ReviewJames HThis was really funny and not as well known. Cagney was so young! Loved it! |
| User ReviewAshley HLoved the snappy dialogue and all the 30's slang! Cagney and Davis were a delight. (And I didn't expect to like it.) |

| User ReviewGregory Wnot bad moves fast and Bette & Cagney shine |
| User Reviewjay nCagney brings his usual electricity to the story of Jimmy Corrigan, the head of a sketchy heir-tracing firm - who'll manufacture a relative to get the inheritance if a real one can't be found. Jimmy's losing his gal Joan (a lovely Bette Davis) to a more polished rival (Alan Dinehart), so it takes all his cunning to wriggle though the rules and get her back. Great dialogue in Bertram Millhauser's script, snappy direction from Cutiz, and fun supporting performances from Allen Jenkins, Alice White and Arthur Hohl. |
