Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film features for the first time, late in their careers, veteran stars James Cagney and Barbara Stanwyck.
User Review - 8/10 by SV GJames Cagney was such a good actor and this film made later on in his career shows just how good he was. A middle-aged man who is successful and prosperous looks back to one bad decision he made as a youth - and goes looking for the son he denied 20 yrs earlier. A very good story with a lot of depth and heart that holds up well today.
User Review - 6/10 by Steven PCagey and Stanwyck only movie together, late in their careers.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CCagney makes a rare appearance in a soap opera as a man trying to find his son that he gave up for adoption. It's an intereting enough of story, but it's a bit too slow paced for my liking. Still, Cagney's quest for redemption at the cost of his reputation and Barbara Stanwyck as the orphanage director made it compelling enough to hold my interest, but I think a more interesting of story would have started with Cagney trying to reconnect with the son he'd given up. This film was also the first film appearance of Michael Landon.
User Review - 6/10 by Greg Wgood combo in this melodrama from MGM stanwyck+ cagney= your moneys worth.
User Review - 4/10 by Antonius BMuch as I adore both Barbara Stanwyck and James Cagney, this film is a real snooze, and one to miss. Director Roy Rowland drags scenes out interminably, and the overall tone of the film is far too sedate. Stanwyck and Cagney are for the most part pretty wooden, and when they do try to breathe life into their lines, it's with little effect. The film lacks any real emotional punch, with the exception of one scene relatively late, when the young man walks away from Cagney down the street, one of the few I really liked. Otherwise it feels like a bad made for TV movie, cheesy music and all. It's a bit of shame, since this film has the distinction that it was the only time Stanwyck and Cagney appeared together.
