James Cagney's brother William produces a picture for him. One of five they'd do together. And I really enjoyed this one. More for the old ladies than Cagney himself, but it's not like Jimmy ever made a picture worse. The special attraction is gentle 63 year old Grace George in her only sound movie. A sweet performance as a newspaper editor in a small corrupt town. Up shows Marjorie Main as a lady of the town creating a little havoc against the bad men and it's all done with a pinch of humor.
