Guardian Unlimited Books Review Rage in motion Cagney was born and raised in the age of silent films- not that many stars of that era could project such a damaged spirit. They were Cagney pictures: he was a gangster, first, and then a lawman; or he was a daredevil on the perilous edges of society - a race-car driver, a flier, a boxer, a press photographer. And I don't doubt that when the scene was over, Cagney was blushing, grinning, laughing it all off, as if to say, look fellas, I'm sorry for making such a scene. books.guardian.co.uk /review/story/0,12084,1246682,00.html   (783 words)
