Certainly Pappy cultivated a whole crop of stronger, brighter, bigger performers, but I often think that his "back pocket" discoveries - men like Ben Johnson, Woody Strode, Dobie Carey, Terry Wilson, & McGrath - form a deeper legacy, one built of truer, more quiet men.
You really 'get' it, Klonny. I love what you wrote.

James Cagney picking up pointers for his movie "Picture Snatcher"

I LOVE Picture Snatcher. Cagney's energy was so electric throughout the film. Still, my favorite scene comes when Jimmy is all alone hiding out in an apartment. He walks across the living room for some reason I can't recall, and just because he's a little bored, he's alone with no one to see him and because he's Cagney, he did a small twirling dance step to get from the couch to the mantle. It's hard to think of another actor who could do such a thing with such off hand, inconsequential grace. Just Jimmy's way of making a prosaic moment memorable.
Thanks for finding that interesting picture of Mr. C. doing his homework for his part.

I agree Moira. It's a snappy Precoder I discovered recently and what a treat it is! Cagney's always top-notch.

Couldn't have said it better, Fernando; Cagney always had that little
umph and spark that put him, & often his co-stars, up over the top, even in some real plodders, whether he was growling-down one of Pat O'Briens cheerful tirades in
Torrid Zone, or plotting vengeance over his Tabascoed ham dinner in
The St. Louis Kid, or horsing around with Bet Davis in
The Bride Came C.O.D..
Whatever the script, no matter how small or uninspiring, Jim always had the camera "right by the ears" (as he once said somewhere), and never let-go til he was
finished!

I bet that the baby in John Barrymore's arms is John Drew Barrymore, Drew Barrymore's father, who was born in 1932.
No wonder about Drew Barrymore's talents, with such ancestors and relatives as John Barrymore, Dolores Costello, Maurice Costello, Helene Costello, Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore, Maurice Blythe Barrymore, John Drew....how impressive!!
