HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES FRANCIS CAGNEY (July 17, 1899 – March 30, 1986)

Cagney’s physicality was also enticing. Like the river, he was always in motion. His face, his hands – his whole body took on the part he was playing, like a man possessed by the muse; and when he danced, it was to a cadence born as much of “…the beauty of the rhythm within him” (as Blondell described it), as it was of the music that accompanied his steps.

When i get home from work tomorrow, i’m gonna watch White Heat.
