Not the G-Men, Not the Vice Squad , Not Homicide....the Department of Weights and Measures...Love It!
I can't think of another actor who had the skills that Cagney was able to do. Singing dancing, being the toughest guy in a pin striped suit. He was a one of a kind.
Welles said he was the best screen actor ever
I love Cagney. He could do it all.
he also helped to create SAG the screen actors guild with i think clark gable. i think he was first chairman.
The good old days when I used to watch these movies on TCM with my father rip late at night.
No millions spent on special effects, expensive locations,just great acting and story. Tell me about talent today.
There is almost none.
That whole location was created in Hollywood, costing many millions
Divided amongst a lot of movies.
That brings the cost down per movie considerably.
And best of all, it's NOT WOKE!
@robmclaughjr Set construction didn't cost millions in the 30s. Probably less than $50,000. A Dollar went a lot further then.
What a actor, such charisma!!!!! His presence just makes the movie, how every line delivered is like he's living the role, absolutely timeless, what a phenomenal actor/human being!!!!
So good to see Jimmy Cagney playing a good guy. Enjoy this movie alot!
I thoroughly enjoyed his performance. As a " Hobo " . Whom did a stop over in a town. & assisted a gal in saving her news paper was it-???🤔.
What an absolute exceptional snapshot of the world circa 1936...we have fallen far.
Thank you for this wonderful upload!!
I couldn't agree more.
@@dirigojewelry Almost all of us who watch these marvelous films think so much alike.Wish we could all meet!
@@renacorey5877 I know! I'll bet it would be a fun movie marathon.
In 1936 millions were starving and workless and their were wars going on around the world. The pro-fascist U.S. élite that had helped to fund Hitler had tried to replace its democracy with a Nazi-style dictatorship

I agree, three.
He was a brilliant actor. I'm only 63 and he's my favorite actor!
I love these olds movies and James Cagney so much. It’s also interesting to see all the small details from this time that are different from us today. I just noticed that when someone is getting in a car, they enter by the passager door and move to the driver place. It was more easy with the car seat of this time who were just a sofa 😂!
They do that because that is how the camera is set up🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@pattimaeda6097 why do you say that? The driver could’ve go around to seat at the driver side no matter the camera.
James Cagney off the streets of NYC.. which is why most of the actors back in the day were so believable.. great artists....
Cagney does it again. He has a special talent that cannot be matched.
He never wastes a second ... every moment moves the film along ...
James Cagney, a great actor who had a Brilliance acting with his eyes that can not see these days at all, I can not Express my feelings about him. 🙏👍👑👑👌👌❤
Excellent actor, better person. Smart as a whip and looked after the girls on the lot. He invested money for them, real estate mostly. I met some of the ladies when they were very much older. He was hero to them. Him and Joel McCrae, they were the clever ones. They cared for the people they worked with.
I totally like these Grand National crime movies, been watching them since I was a boy. Never stopped. I grew up and came of age in the greatest period of Music, Movies, & TV. There will never be days like that again. It great to be able to look back, though.

Can you imagine Pitt,Hoffman,Jack or anyone you can think of doing a better job than Cagney in that part?What a star!!
He is Awesome!
Agreed.
🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉❤
No
Method Acting cannot replace raw talent.
When I was kid, I was hooked on Cagney, and Bogart movies. Cagney was unbelievable, he was so talented, they damn near typecasted him, but he was so talented that it couldn't be done. He was great in everything he did. This movie proves it.
Same here
Used to watch the movies with my Uncle Alf over 55 years ago watching them on Tv ….brings back great memories of two great guys….Cagney and my Uncle Alf
I thought he was brilliant in Mr Roberts alongside Fonda and Lemon.
My favorite actor of all times and I can't wait to watch this movie again I haven't seen it in 20 years.
Good movie , good story , enjoy watching any James Cagney movies . Nice to see Edward Brophy and Robert Lowery . Thank you Broken Trout , hope all is well .
James Cagney has that magnetic charisma
Wow! Fantastic movie! Jimmy Cagney is the best! I could watch him all day. Great story and wonderful acting. Thanks for posting!
James Cagney what a master class actor
James Cagney best actor who ever stood in front of a camera or an audience.
Love any film that Mr Cagney is in 👌👏
Cagney s the best Actor ever in my opinion .
Another old gem ,that is quite enjoyable and a good story too
When movies were movies!
I never knew the Department of Weights & Measures gave out so many asswhoopings.
Another great one! James Cagney did a great job while looking fine and dapper!
What a treat to come across this!
Still pushing them in the forehead.
And still giving them that one sock I love it.
Long long time ago when I first started watching James Cagney and he's pushing people in the forehead I started doing that to my boyfriends and my girlfriends when I'm like just get out of here get away and push him in the forehead and they're like WTF 😂😂🤣 loved those old day's..
Really needed to watch this show and have a laugh the man I was dating for 2.5 years has passed away in his sleep.
All I can say is luckily I was not up there to wake up next to a dead person I don't think I would have handled it very well.
😭😭😭💔💔💔😲😲😲😲😩😩😩😢😢
THIS WAS GREAT IS WAS LIKE I WAS WATCHING MY OLD MAN / THANKS MR. CAGNEY MY OLD MAN WAS A LOT LIKE YOU IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE EVEN LOOKED ALIKE WHEN HE WAS IN THE NAVY / GREAT MOVIE
Interesting/informative/entertaining. This is an " Old Timey " classic 30-years before I was born-!!!😳. Enjoy viewing the cars/cash registers/deli scale/phones/gas stations & gravity gas pumps & the likes of that era -!!!🤗. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Enjoyed the " End " clock -!!!🤗 How imaginatively brilliant-!!!😉
Man of a thousand faces....cagney at his best.
I agree
Don't forget fighting 69th
Another good one, he always gets his man.
Well when the Department of Weights and Measures gets on your trail........
Cagney, the best ever, RIP
Your sure not forgotten, see.
I once worked as a weights and measures inspector for a county in California. We all watched this movie for "training". We had a lot of laughs.
I believe you 100% Franchot. Thank you for you witnessing God's loving words.
James was a fantastic actor. Thanks for the upload.
Cagney Greatest Actor of All Time
Wish we could let loose an army of Cagneys to take on the upsells, shrinkflation, and other "legitimate" graft that goes on these days, fists out.
Love Cagney…I found out I went to the same grammar school Cagney went to. NYC. they had a plaque dedicated to him…
"Unlock this door or I'll break it in -- as soon as I finish this cigar."
They hadn't finished breaking up all the furniture yet.
WOW THEY DON’T MAKE AWESOME MOVIES LIKE THIS ANYMORE LOVE IT LOVE IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
just love James Cagney good guy or bad guy he was the best.
Always admired Mr. Cagney. I saw this when I was a young man, many years ago. "Alright, Alright Alright" lol very funny:) The part where his partner was telling a story to the girls about being surrounded and killed by wild animals .............that was taken and used in the 1955 movie "Battle Cry" when "Spanish Joe" was drunk and blowing smoke up the rear end of two old Australian salts, just as funny in 1936 as it was in 1955. Well done my friend Semper fi
Great comment Steve, thank you.
@Steve Compton
Did Matthew McConaughey ever see this movie?
"Look see, look see, look see! As long as I'm around you'll always be second best, see!" It's my best Cagney impression. It's better when you hear me saying it. Used to drive my son crazy.....hahaha.
That was E G Robinson. In the cinnceneti kid. 👌🏴🏴
I only saw him when he was much older ; here he’s really handsome, James Cagney I mean.
Excellent movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for putting this up for us. 😊
That was a great movie. Thank you for sharing it.

Pretty Girl, that Brunette Co-star.

Cagney was good friends with my cousin Pat O Brien.

"Open this door; you can't beat up my prisoner."
Thank you so much!
Makes you wonder about the grocery stores today?.......
another gem, tyvm
I love agney in this type of role. This was a new one to me. Tnanks for showing this film.
His fiancé is the woman he smashed the grapefruit in her face in that famous movie scene.
That Johnny…he’s a great guy.
Lord they don't make movies like this anymore! Movies like this is entertainment. The stuff of today is vulgar, violent and just not as good. Well...some of them are good. I just like this old stuff. Classic.
Thank you for the great uploads! Happy New Year 2022!!
My greatest Cagney film is "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Absolute best :"I love America" tribute of the Cohan's. When America Was Great The First Time. I'm a Vet AND I love "That Grand Ole Flag."
So true when America Was Great
🎞️Excellent Actor 🎞️🎬⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There is only one James Cagney ❤
*Even those this movie was made 88 years ago, I was thoroughly entertained. That said, I was aware that crooked stores used to gyp shoppers back then, but just watching this dramatization still made me angry - long dead though the gyppers and the gypped were. Times haven't changed, just the nature of the crimes. Anyway, a wonderful glimpse into the distant past.*
Thanks BT.
Some gas stations in Detroit could use a good calibration. Not all pumps have the state certification. I know this personally, being a Cab driver. The meter will jump .5 cents before you even start pumping gas.
We need to get the Department of Weights and Measurements on that.
The funniest part of the movie is the grocery store scene about dishonest weights of butchered chickens.
56:30 ...oh man...this guy is going to slap some people down..."with righteous fury".
Thought I watched all his movies…never saw this one..
Turn up the volume, please.
We too think they look delicious and for the actual amount of fish that went into them they're definitely on my Lent list!😊
Love these old movies when the Good guy didn't take any crap....JC was perfect for that type of role.
Jumbled faint sound. Couldn't hear dialogue. Forced to end. 😢Get it fixed. Would like to hav seen a Cagney oldie.
I would have never taken the woman back after she said we were through!
I love Jimmy Cagney. Overacting, exaggerating, larger than life . . . Just a great entertainer, no matter what he appears in. I bet he had a load of fun making movies and it comes across every time I see him.
Loved him as Fleet Admiral Bull Halsey in
"The Gallant Hours" (1959) a very underated Cagney masterpiece in my humble opinion.
Very factual, the only artistic lisence they took was that they moved up the date of Adm.Yamamato's shoot down from April 1944' to Feb.1944'.
I believe that was one of his earliest performances that I've seen yet-!!!🤔 30 years before I was born-!!!😳. Quality time spent viewing it-!!!😉
I bet this film made a lot of people distrust their butchers. I wonder how the butchers felt about it.
They probably made less money the year this movie was released.
Love it!
Please fix the sound on this classic gem.
Didn’t they know they were dealing with Jimmy Cagney!
Cagney in a silent movie
This was still the great depression & the food there was probably better than the Ritz.😄
"Plant both feet before you say your lines." Cagney when asked the secret to good acting
Yankee Doddle movie with Cagney best ever!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Good grief Johnny, I even pointed to the place in the taped up part of the clothes closet ceiling where the letters were hidden and you just didn’t pay me attention. You completely ignored me. 😮😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
My great uncle Robert Gleckler is in this. From Pierre,SD to Broadway to Hollywood
Any chance of fixing the sound?
Shot at 54:51 was totally influential on the ending of the Godfather. The moment of realization.
Problems with sound on this Cagney movie. Looked forward to seeing this movie and whoops. Maybe fix issues so we get a chance to enjoy , thank you for the good try.
Sound went bad. Sounds underwater. Maybe a re-upload is needed
It has ALWAYS been in vogue to be honest especially for politicians in high places. AND, that the children of people in high places don't get off anything because their old man might even be president!
Chiwawa. He was so great!
can't go wrong with cagney..y u could cast him in a movie and call it great guy and he'd pull it off;
The story still seems relevant. I’m guessing Johnny would find plenty to do nowadays. Although, they don’t bother with lead weights any more. They just charge more and give you less and they get away with it. Nobody does nothin.
Where did all the Great Guys go?
can you please activate the subtitles? would be easier to follow the plot for a non mother tongue. thanks
I absolutly love these movies with Cagney, but is anyone having problems hearing this movie? all other movies are fine but this one. Had to leave and not watch because of the issue.
The sound has become warped.???
Wasn't able to watch this video unfortunately as the sound was too poor.
If this is ever rectified I'd like to view it bit how would I know if it gets done?
