The Man Who Shook Hollywood To Its Core

Cagney was an icon and national treasure.... Seemed like a classy intelligent man, I really admired his great work!!!!

Yankee Doodle Dandy is one of the greatest musicals ever and Cagney was an incredible dancer.

“Made it, Ma! Top of the world!!”

I read somewhere he lived in the same house until he passed away. His Hollywood pals asked him why he still live in the same house. When he could buy a Manson. He said, why move, I'm happy here.

What can one say? America without Cagney would be like Paris without the Eiffel Tower!The Man was a genius! Love everything he played in! God rest him

A wonderful story without scandal. It can be done.

This was great! I'm so glad I watched it! My dad met James Cagney while he was recovering from pneumonia after being shipped to England via the North Sea during WW2. Dad was recovering in a hospital for military personnel in London. Cagney took the time to visit these patients while he was in the area. He shook my father's hand and thanked him for his service. My father often spoke of the incident and had tremendous admiration for Cagney.

Love him in everything he did. The man did it all, while dancing circles around everyone else.

Never underestimate him. He was an accomplished painter.

My favorite actor of all time. I grew up watching his movies on late night and Sunday afternoon TV. There really wasn't anything he couldn't do. Make you laugh, make you cry, scare you with his street smarts and even make the ladies look silly. He was a treasure. Leaving his money to his wife was not unusual in the time period he lived, it doesn't mean she didn't share with her daughter and/or other family members. It simply shows he loved and trusted her.

Great man, who increased our WW II SOLDIERS Spirits, with his wonderful song & dance❤️ He lifted us ALL, up❤️

I had the immence pleasure of meeting James Cagney, as my husband was his piano tuner, when he lived in Coldwater Canyon, in Los Angeles CA. In 1973, I was able to meet him in his driveway as my husband was tuning James Cagney's piano. He greeted me, and told me my 6 mos. old son, Ricky, was "a cute little bambino". I also had answered the phone when Mr. Cagney called to arrange the tuning. He had our phone number from when my husband had tuned his brothers piano in Newport Beach, Ca. and had introduced him to James. A brush with greatness, for sure!

Loved him with Edward G Robinson. I also really loved him in Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Cagney danced as if he was suspended from a spring or a string. He literally danced on air! He was at his finest in "Footlight Parade" in 1933, a wonderful film studded eith Busby Berkeley chreography in which Cagney shone brightly. Thiz film is in regular rotatiom of TCM. It's a forgotten gem!

He was my dads favourite actor,so of course he became mine. We always sat down together to watch his movies. Yanky Doodle Dandy was our favourite.

I love the way Cagney moves. Even when he's not dancing he moves beautifully.

I loved watching Cagney with Pat O'Brien, also an Irishman. They were great together.

I LOVE THIS THANK YOU FOR HONORING ONE OF THE GREATEST PERFORMERS OF ALL TIME MR. JAMES CAGNEY.

Loved this man from the first moment I saw him on screen over 50yrs ago. ❤

He was amazing in, "man od a thousand faces"
