The Irish in Us

Cute little flick. I absolutely adore James Cagney and Olivia de Havilland! they have great chemistry. Olivia has already a strong presence, for a 19 year old. So charming! Clearly, she was born to captivate people's hearts with her unmatched talent and charisma🤍 Rest in…

In only her second film, Olivia de Havilland has a lovely radiance and a lot of charm. It's so interesting to see her in her pre-movie star element. You could tell she was going places. Along with Olivia, there's the perpetually wired James Cagney, the stolid, yet slightly…

Since my St. Patrick's Day drinking days are long behind me and I work tomorrow morning I decided to finally watch this which was a gift from my brother Jon-Erik a couple of Christmases ago. It's essentially a boxing/romantic comedy and from the way it started I wasn't…

It made my heart warm to see the scenes with Olivia de Havilland looking up into James Cagney’s eyes, and it made me smile when Cagney skipped rope in his short shorts while helping a boxer train. Olivia de Havilland was 19 and this was just her second film, so for that…
