Movie Reviews of Great Guy, The
Movie Review: Cagney cracks corruption
Summary: 3 Stars
Jimmy Cagney, who was always more than a great guy --- he was terrific ---cleans up Gotham City, single-handed, except for a strange side-kick who is away with the little leprechauns most of the time. There seem to be two puzzles in this tale of civic virtue, however. First, Jimmy is pure as the driven snow. At the end of the story he presents his lady-love with a piece of ice a little smaller than the Ritz. He tells her he bought it on the never-never. Not long before committing this rash deed he had picked up, unseen by anyone, a cheque for 5G, made out to cash, signed by one of the evil politicians. How come we never saw this handy piece of paper turned in as exhibit A? The second puzzle is much more serious. Why would a great guy like this ever want to marry a dame like Mae Clarke? This character is presented to the audience as a bigger pain in the rear than permanent lumbago. Marriage must have been different in 1936.
Summary of Great Guy, The
