Reviewed By Jason S. LockardFor me the old days of cinema were defiantly the best and when I received the Silver Screen Legends 4 movie collection featuring James Cagney, needless to say I was ecstatic!
James Francis Cagney, Jr. was born on July 17, 1899 in New York City. His career in entertainment started in vaudville and quickly moved to film where he is best known for his tough guy roles in such films as the Public Enemy and Angels with dirty faces. James Cagney was a great singer and dancer, he even won an Oscar for best actor in his role as a song and dance man in the film Yankee Doodle Dandy. James was married to fellow dancer Frances Vernon in 1922 and they stayed married till his death on Easter Sunday 1986.
