There's some minor enjoyment to be had in Hard To Handle; Cagney never lets up on a million-volt performance, and there are plenty of familiar faces. Otherwise, the script is rather half-baked, moving through events but not really involving the audience -- good enough for the bottom half of a double feature. See Footlight Parade for what this film fails to do, and you won't have much reason to watch this again.
