IMDB

James Cagney plays a movie usher who is fired and finds himself wrapped up in crime. Before the police catch up to him he heads off to LA. He stumbles into a movie career and ends up becoming fairly famous, which brings out some of his old criminal friends.
This was a really solid effort. There was some successful attempts at humor and the plot was pretty straightforward.

6.5/10
