    James Cagney was an amazing actor. I have seen him in many movies and playing George M Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy was my all time favorite. He played a varied types of characters in his career and played all of them well. His life shows that no matter how bad your life begins and is as you grow up you have the power to rise above it.

    My favourite role of Cagney’s was the captain in Mister Roberts with Henry Fonda. He brought a lot of humour to the role, playing the captain as an angry, frustrated man (with his tongue firmly in his cheek!).

    My favorite actor was James Cagney. The scene in Yankee Doodle Dandy where he danced down the stairs was the best for me.
    Shirley Temple and Bo Jangles did even a better similar scene that for me is the greatest.
    My favorite actress was Ginger Rodgers.. I liked her best in The Major and the Minor. No major dancing in that movie but man could she move on the dance floor.

    I knew James Gagney wasn't a "gangster" or a "tough man". He was an extremely talented man.
    He truly is one of my favourite actors/ performers, ever.
    He (was) the only actor on this planet that could have played the role of Michael Corleone better than Al Pacino. (or the part of Sonny...Or Tom Hagen...Even Vito, himself )
    Gagney truly was one of the greats and should be remembered as such.

    Actually, Tracy won the Oscar for Boys Town in 1938, Angel's With Dirty Faces came out in 1939. Cagney lost the Oscar to Robert Donat for his role in Goodbye Mr. Chips.
    I'm a huge Cagney fan of over 40 years, so even his so so films are fun. As far as my favorites, The Public Enemy, Footlight Parade, G-Men, Something To Sing About, The Strawberry Blonde, The Roaring Twenties, The Bride Came C.O.D., Yankee Doodle Dandy (of course), The Time of Your Life, White Heat (of course), Man of A Thousand Faces, Love Me Or Leave Me, One, Two, Three, Ragtime, and of course, Angels With Dirty Faces.
