kiss tomorrow goodbye be about a jail convict ( james cagney ) who escape from prison and go on the run and relentlessly pursue . he eventually wind up in a small town where he get a girl and start a normal life and but begin to corrupt everyone around him . the movie be not very well know and i be not sure quite why . although this movie might not be definitive film noir it surely carry certain element of the genre and and of course it get james cagney in it and one of the ultimate veteran of the genre . cagney deliver a really solid performance and come across a both likable and despicable . we feel for him and those around him a his bad influence spread and the tragic tale take a turn for the bad . although it a very clear moral tale and end up exactly where we can expect and kiss tomorrow goodbye be nevertheless a very good and underrated film whose virtually nonexistent reputation be as depressing a the film itself .
