I am very surprised that this being James Cagney's 4th film he took a step back and only appears for a few minutes. Having said that I'm kind of glad as it allowed George Arliss to shine and shine he does.
I discovered this gem as I was collecting Cagney's movies as he and Bogart were my childhood hero's. Arliss is someone I had never heard of but boy I was overjoyed at this charming man. He has a nack of drawing you in with his charm and just a lift of an eyebrow and a quirky smile makes you feel warm.
This film is set during the depression in the thirties but sure makes you feel happy. A real feel good film and one to watch should you get the chance.
Funny, uplifting and overall warm film.
