Let me simply say this - if they ever comprised a list of the top 7 Greatest movie endings in cinematic history - James Cagney would be responsible for 3 of them!!!! The Death Row scene in "Angels with Dirty Faces" Dancing Down the White House Stairs in " Yankee Doodle Dandy" and of course the iconic Petroleum Tower scene at the end of "White Heat" There will Never and I mean Never be another actor who could captivate a scene like the one and only James Francis Cagney - Class / Talent!!!

Cagney was the greatest gangster in the history of film...but you never hated him...showing his love for longtime friend Jerry the priest by playing a coward ....and showing his vulnerability by pleasing the only person he ever trusted...his mom...and showing his love of country in YANKEE...by improvising the tap dance full of pride after speaking to the President. i loved Cagney.... Great comment....

The Professional Againster he was called. He was just pure class. Never his likes again. RIP James Cagney.

Thank you for uploading this. I had it on VHS but due being almost 50 years old, the tape has corroded. Just a shame the start of James Acceptance speech is missing, but I've seen it a few times on KZbin. I'd emailed AFI to try to buy the ceremony, but they never replied. I had all of James Cagney films on DVD/Video or recorded from TV. Unfortunately I had to throw most away, due to videos being covered in white powder due to corrosion. Was great to see this again, especially Frank Sinatras musical tribute.

I was 13 years old when this happened in 1974. All the Stars in the world are there. Most of them are gone now but what a great time it was it still makes me cry. Blessings 🙏💞

Cuánto eché de menos que el AFI no le diera su reconocimiento anual a titanes del cine como John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Charlton Heston, Tony Curtis, Randolph Scott, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Norma Shearer, Jean Arthur, Jean Simmons, Olivia de Havilland, Maureen O'Hara

James Cagney returned in 1980 to make one last movie, Ragtime, with Pat O'Brien.

Not only one of the greatest actors but he was very intelligent. His speech was brilliant.

Thanks for the upload. There seems to be a lot missing here. The original is around 90 minutes. Were there copyright issues?

I know that unfortunately the start of James Cagney acceptance speech is missing (the 9 minute is available on KZbin). IMDB states the tribute was 75 minutes in length. That may/may not include names etc.

Estoy viendo un tributo a James cagney y anteriormente disfruté hasta las lágrimas de ver el tributo a Freddy asteire' verlos a todos juntos en ese homenaje al mejor bailarín de la música americana,junto a las mujeres más hermosas de su época fue' un gran placer' pero les pregunto,:porque no hacen la traducción al Español? Sería fenomenal escuchar las bromas de barisnikoy,Bob fose,y escuchar en vivo las mujeres que tuvieron la oportunidad de bailar junto al inigualable fred Astaire ❤❤❤😅😅😅😅;desde Argentina ,un gran admirador de estos homenajes* ahora estoy viendo bailar a Bob hope junto a James cagnes😂😂😂😂😂😂
