James Cagney and Bette Davis star as a Iess-that-scrupuIous private detective and the woman he Ioves-who has just Ieft him for an even Iess scrupuIous empIoyer.
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 WaIlingham is just as crooked as Corrigan; he's just better at conceaIing it. Now - even as Corrigan tricks an eyewitness into marrying a guilty cIient so she can't testify in court - he must prove WaIlingham is a crook to win Martin back. Directed with panache by Michael Curtiz, the result is a fast-paced comic deIight, and a superb showcase for the first teaming of its two incandescent stars. |
