from what i would hear of this film and i be expect something dull and boring and eugene oneill ish . i be pleasantly surprise to find that there be a lot to love in this film . in fact and it leave me happy and smile . james cagney character be so off the wall in comparison to his other film role . he just sit quietly and lead a seemingly monotonous life . he listen to a couple of song over and over while he drink champagne . most of all he interfere for good in other people life . i also watch this film because i be fascinate with jeanne cagney and how much she look like her brother . it great to see james and jeanne work together and particularly in this story and where he play an irishman and she polish but she get his face . yes and i be easily amuse . it a random film . it appear on the surface to be patch together and no and it not action pack and fast paced . but look beneath the surface and and you will see it about the value of observe and pay attention to thing and people around you and and act on what you see . we all could do with a little more of that although i do not think we need to do it for hour on end in a bar . it can be do during normal life too . i felt this film move along pretty steadily . there be always some new thing pop up a something else be be resolve . and and although on the surface everything be resolve in the end and there be still a lot of question one ask . i would not go into detail here i will let you discover for yourself . and i strongly recommend you should do so .
