Cagney is as smooth as silk acting with a comfortable naturalism his usual high-voltage portrayals often lack. During the dance sequences he has a ball obviously relishing the opportunity to strut his terpsichorean stuff before the cameras. Watching him flawlessly perform complicated steps in a bouncy marionette style makes one rue the lack of more Cagney musicals.
