Description
Jimmy is putting one over on Bogie in "Angel's With Dirty Faces," 1938-2016.
Bogart is reunited with " Dead End" kids from the year before.
"To play Rocky, James Cagney drew on his memories of growing up in New York's Yorkville, a tough ethnic neighborhood on the upper east side, just south of Spanish Harlem.. His main inspiration was a drug-addicted pimp who stood on a street corner all day hitching his trousers, twitching his neck, and repeating, 'Whadda ya hear! Whadda ya say!' Those mannerisms came back to haunt Cagney. He later wrote in his autobiography, 'I did those gestures maybe six times in the picture. That was over thirty years ago - and the impressionists have been doing me doing him ever since.'"
