@rinkydinkydoink Younger people should binge watch some of his movies. He was an incredible dramatic actor yet won an academy award for Yankee Doodle Dandy, a musical.
Besides you gotta love a guy who smashes a grapefruit half in his wife's face at breakfast. (a different movie)
Oh man... ! I was thinking this very thought only yesterday. TCM aired a Joan Blondell/Cagney movie (they were great pals) and I was wondering why he is not remembered as much as Bogart is.
I also learned he was trained as a singer, too... not only dance. The man could do it all.
Plus - - White Heat is one of my favorite movies. Bogart - I like the guy, don't get me wrong - would've made Cody Jarrett an even more over-the-top Duke Mantee.
