Cagney is at his brash energetic best, but Raft is also great. Every other part I've seen him in he's been his famously stonefaced self, but here he brings a whole hatful of pizzazz and style to the role.

Both James Cagney and George Raft are in fine form here. There are some great scenes in the prison. Cagney gets to go on an emotional roller coaster ride.

Sappy and tedious prison drama.
na	Hopscotch	93	T₉
The chemistry between Cagney and Raft was fantastic as they both gave marvelous performances here. A simple and powerful flick of conscience and honor; sappy maybe, tedious no...
