One of the biggest stars of the golden age of Hollywood, James
Cagney appeared in more than sixty films throughout his career. In
addition to starring in the classics White Heat, Mister Roberts,
and One, Two, Three, Cagney received the Academy Award for his
performance as George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy. From his
debut in Sinner's Holiday to one of his many gangster portrayals in
The Roaring Twenties, the actor appeared in more than thirty films
of the 1930s. Though he started out in supporting roles, Cagney
quickly became a leading man and by the end of the decade, he was a
box-office star. In James Cagney Films of the 1930s, James L.
Neibaur reviews the first decade of the great actor's work. A
film-by-film look at Cagney's movies during this pivotal period,
this book traces the actor's transition from a song-and-dance man
on stage to a tough guy on screen. Although Cagney occasionally was
able to deviate from studio typecasting-in such films as Footlight
Parade and A Midsummer Night's Dream-his most notable roles were in
gangster dramas like The Public Enemy and Angels with Dirty Faces.
Throughout this book, Neibaur provides readers with plot summaries,
production details, and critical and commercial reception of each
film. For fans of the actor's work, James Cagney Films of the 1930s
is an invaluable resource that will also appeal to anyone
interested in movie-making during one of Hollywood's greatest eras.
