Sons of the Desert When it actually is time to head for the electric chair, he does indeed fall to pieces and beg for his life, but it is never made clear whether he does so to help the priest and the kids, or because he has gone yellow.
In real life, Cagney loved this kind of ambiguity, and he also seemed to have fun when being asked countless times about it, never revealing the truth! Cagney had already worked with live bullets in films, but for this one requested that the machine gun shots be fired after he had filmed his parts.
It was common to use real bullets in that Hollywood era, and Cagney would be forever glad that he made that decision. The story goes that, once they filmed the bits with real bullets, one ricocheted precisely where his head would have been in the scene. Some of the greatest movies of all time have been based around mobsters, but even amongst them, it stands head and shoulders among most. And it says a lot about the power of Cagney in his prime that Bogart, despite a wonderfully devilish performance himself, is often just another name further down the credits!
In some ways, that other movie from the same year was more unusual, if not anywhere near to such classic status. Needless to say, Larry gets rather miffed at having to co-star with a baby that steals every scene, and this leads to one daft turn of events after another.
The movie also managed to upset Errol Flynn — one scene cheekily had a radio announcer, played by Ronald Reagan, mention a film called The White Rajah, starring Flynn. Trouble was, that was the name of a script that Flynn himself had written but seen rejected, and the story goes that he was less than happy to see this little in-joke on the big screen.
Cagney, in fact, had nothing to fear in those days, and his movies would soar miles ahead of the opposition, too. Did he squeal? James Cagney had to be taught how to drive for the movie Taxi! Since he was a New Yorker without much need to drive in the s, he had not learned to drive up until that point.
James Cagney spoke fluent Yiddish, and in this film got the opportunity to demonstrate it. The movie-within-a-movie, 'Her Hour of Love', with Donald Cook and Evalyn Knapp , was not an actual film clip, but a new sequence especially filmed for 'Taxi'.
Cagney was in the dance contest with Loretta Young as his partner, and curiously, ex-hoofer and future star George Raft was his opponent vying for the first-place cup. The black gown Evalyn Knapp wears in the movie-within-a-movie is also worn by her during her final scene in "Smart Money" A previous entry is incorrect. Cagney definitely does NOT say "You dirty rat" when yelling at his wife about her lending his brother's killer's girlfriend a hundred dollars.
What Cagney actually says is, "The dirty rat kills Danny and you help him get away with it!
