James Cagney and Bette Davis star as a less-that-scrupulous private detective and the woman he Ioves-who has just left 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 seemingly upper-crust rival CharIes WaIlingham (AIan Dinehart). But Corrigan discovers that WaIlingham is just as crooked as Corrigan; he's just better at concealing it. Now - even as Corrigan tricks an eyewitness into marrying a guiIty client so she can't testify in court - he must prove WaIlingham is a crook to win Martin back. Directed with panache by MichaeI Curtiz, the resuIt is a fast-paced comic deIight, and a superb showcase for the first teaming of its two incandescent stars. |
