  Titles Comprise: Great Guy:Great Guy was the first Jimmy Cagney produced film from Grand National Pictures and brings to the screen the reality of widespread corruption in the 1930's during FDR's New Deals. The movie does a good job of shedding light on that intriguing era and uncovers various plots and schemes that go all the way up to the highest offices. Directed by John G. Blystone. Something To Sing About: Something To Sing About wittily mirrors Cagney's frustrations with the Hollywood rat race and pokes fun at the studio system as a whole. Production methods acting styles pompous executives overzealous agents and the era's intense fandemonium all provide choice fodder for the film's writers. Directed by Victor Schertzinger. Blood On The Sun:Blood On The Sun is one of the most powerful films to try to explain exactly how the Japanese 'Co-Prosperity Sphere' came into mortal conflict with the United States. Based on historical fact this riveting brutal action-packed motion picture has a tremendous supporting cast typical of a Cagney Production never lets up on the great Jimmy Cagney-style action. Directed by Frank Lloyd.

Blystone 1937): Ex-prize-fighter Johnny Cave (Cagney) Is knocked into the position of chief deputy of weights and measures after the current chief is hospitalized by an apparent assassination attempt. After only minutes on the job Cave goes several rounds with a ring of light-weight chiselers who have mastered the art of defrauding shoppers.

Robert Bradbury 1934): John Wayne and his sidekick 'Gabby"" Hayes are gold miners who strike it rich.

After getting a young woman pregnant Lee shifts the blame to Owen.

That's as much as any man can take...and Owen decides that it's time to settle the score. The Big Trees (Dir.

A new law will enable his company to harvest millions of dollars from the majestic redwood forests if the locals will let him.

John Huston 1953): a wacky comedy that's played as straight as any film noir and is even funnier as a result.

Billy Dannreuther (Bogart) is married to Maria (Gina Lollobrigida) the other four are their ""business associates"" and Jones and Underdown are added to the mix for some interesting diversification.
