James Cagney Best Scenes

[@nancycatania7763]

Best actor to ever come out of Hollywood! There will never be another like him.

[@jameshogan6142]

Yes we will never see those days again. I wish I had better appreciated the days of my youth instead of looking forward to the future which unfortunately did not transpire as I would have wished.

[@GeorgeSmith1066]

For me, the prison scene as Cody Jarrett is one of the best scenes in the history of cinema. His acting is simply phenomenal. Totally convincing, it took an actor of his calibre to pull off a scene like this - where, despite Cagney’s own modest claims to the contrary, he delivers a masterclass and a masterpiece.

[@voicegirl555]

Happy Happy 120th Birthday to one of the greatest actor who ever walked! You could do it all Mr. Cagney! Drama, Comedy, Sing and dance! There will never be another you! Not in this life. Thank you for all the films you left behind. They never get old.

People making videos that do that, have filters on their soundcard active that flatten the sound of everything, instead of balancing it properly. So on their computer.. it sounded fine... but on someone who likes to leave their dynamic listening experience intact, you run the risk of having your ears blown out by people that don't balance things properly. It'd be nice if those soundcard booster things had a slider threshold for it or something, instead of totally off or totally aggressively on.

[@stantheman9072]

That scene where he is ordering clothing and snapping his fingers is from “One, Two, Three” where he played a Coca-Cola executive in Germany. The whole film has that kind of rapid fire dialogue from him. He struggled with it so much that he opted to retire and did not do another film until “Ragtime” came out many years later when, I think, it was Milos Foreman who asked him to play a featured role in that movie.

[@stantheman9072]

TheBrabon1 Well obviously it wasn’t just dialogue in one film that caused him to decide it wasn’t worth it any more. The number of takes Billy Wilder required to get that script to work (which it didn’t anyway because the movie was a box office failure) killed whatever enjoyment he still found in movie work. Upcoming directors were following the same style of filmmaking (like Kubrick would become notorious for doing). I forget exactly where I heard that story but it was an old talk show like either Johnny Carson or Dick Cavett and came from one of Wilders regulars like Matthau or Lemmon talking about working with Wilder. We’re talking 1970s here but I grew up watching Cagney films and that story stuck with me.

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day Robert, Thanks very much for these unforgettable clips from Jimmy Cagney. He was a highly emotive actor with a broad range; even though he was typecast as the vicious criminal in most of his early and mid-range films. It's odd that a majority of critics at the time, myself included, thought his 60s film, 'One, Two, Three' ( 2:50 ) was a magnificent showcase of Cagney's comic skills. Cagney loathed this picture and being in it. Although I've never read a definitive reason of why he disliked it so much, merely saying it was the worst film he was ever in. Mind you, I haven't researched it much; I just love watching it. It is almost perfect in terms of Cagney’s ‘machine gun’ delivery, editing, timing and brilliant supporting actors, some of who play totally against type. If you haven't seen 'One, Two, Three' don't be afraid that it's black and white, it's an extremely funny film and a brilliant look at the stupid aspects of the Cold War. Sitzen Machen! Prost, BH

[@DRM-nb1fg]

Someone posted that Billy Wilder forced Cagney to do a million takes for that movie. I could see that being a horrible process for any actor, so that might be why he hates the movie. In any event, Cagney is the GOAT actor. Incredible acting, singing, dancing ability and unbelievable energy/charisma. One of a kind and unforgettable.

[@jackhackett80]

one of the best 'hard men' of cinema

[@alydar21]

A list of the films from which these scenes were exacted would be a nice touch. Enjoyed watching!

My favorite clip here is from the movie One, Two, Three. "Yes, Fritz. No Fritz. I need you. Sleepy or not sleepy, everybody works today."

my favorite actor of all time....his death scene in the film 'the roaring twenties' was spectacular...nothing like it...

[@xthe6]

Karloff, cagney, and Marx (brothers), the best of the old in my opinion.

James Cagney just moved into my top 5 actors...Forgive my ignorance
