Cagney Cavalcade: G-Men

on BBC One London

featuring one of the screen's great stars and finest actors James Cagney
with Margaret Lindsay, Ann Dvorak, Robert Armstrong

Cagney on fine form and with lists flying as a young lawyer who joins the G-Men to avenge the death of a friend.
Writing of Cagney's career in 1951, Kenneth Tynan said: 'At his best (Public Enemy, The Mayor of Hell, G-Men, White Heat) he flouts every standard of social behaviour with a disarming Irish pungency which makes murder look like an athletic exercise of high spirits and not a mean and easy transgression. He sweetened killing; and to have done this immediately after the Capone regime, during the era of the concentration camp and between two lacerating wars, is something of an achievement.'
