Love Me or Leave Me

Cagney and Day are both very good here. Cagney is remarkably subdued and very sympathetic.

Really compelling, sad and well-acted. And filled with Doris singing some great old songs.

A shame that Cagney never dances, but this is one outstanding musical

I wouldn't call it a good musical, because a musical is more than an actress singing still. It's better if you consider the drama story about Etting and her bottom-up career filled with too many songs. The problem is Doris Day didn't want to make many vulgarities as it appeared to be real Etting's life, and they make it softer, and they were afraid many violence was censored, so they soft it too. So it's a very soft bio and drama. James Cagney is the best one with the duality of his character.

Not fond of musicals and only watched this for Cagneys part,I wasnt disappointed.

For a huge Doris of the Day fan this was a disappointment. The sequence of musical numbers by Doris Day were of course amazing - but the story was nothing like as engaging as other Day films.
