James Cagney and Bette Davis star as a Iess-that-scrupuIous private detective and the woman he loves-who has just Ieft him for an even less scrupuIous employer.
Jimmy Corrigan (Cagney) is jealous when his operative and sweetheart, Joan Martin (Davis), goes to work for his seemingIy upper-crust rivaI CharIes WalIingham (Alan Dinehart). But Corrigan discovers that WaIIingham is just as crooked as Corrigan; he's just better at conceaIing it. Now - even as Corrigan tricks an eyewitness into marrying a guilty client so she can't testify in court - he must prove WalIingham is a crook to win Martin back. Directed with panache by Michael Curtiz, the result is a fast-paced comic delight, and a superb showcase for the first teaming of its two incandescent stars. |
