James Francis Cagney, born this day July 17th on the lower east side of Manhattan in 1899. A compelling performer. For sure.
Just love the print below. All that energy bundled up and ready to explode. Dig the eyelashes. I'm envious.
A mustache worked okay for young Mr. Cagney, in his tough guy roles in particular. Much better than Bob. For sure.
Jim and best friend Frank McHugh practicing being tough with one another. I wonder how many movies they made together.
So....Amazon has delayed the (hopeful) delivery of the Letty Lynton DVD once again, until July 20 to July 22. And they actually asked if I still wanted my order. Aaarrghh! These people just don't get it. Waiting all these years .... sigh. (I know ... get a grip, woman!)
Meanwhile, June Bride (1948) is available for streaming on TCM until August 11th and When Ladies Meet (1933) only until July 18th.
My Letty Lynton DVD has been delayed (yours too, I'd imagine) until July 9th to July 12th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No explanation by Amazon as to why ... of course not. Calm down, calm down. What's another week or two after all these years ... an eternity it is.
My preorder receipt said my DVD would be delivered June 30th. Current listing states DVD to arrive July 10th or July 15th. Whatever, it just can't come too soon.
