A scene in a park where he is stuck with de Havilland when he would rather be with Hayworth, shows him at his best comedic flair, as a rude, pouting heartsick fellow.
While Hayworth is giggling and flirting with another fellow behind some rocks in a silly, shallow exchange, de Havilland (with more substance than Cagney sees at the time) tries to engage him in conversations he will have no part of, then baits him with "advanced ideas" about women's rights.
After a melodramatic turn, where he winds up in prison, he meets de Havilland in the park after his stint is up, and clutches her to him with a hug full of passion, desperation, love and sadness.

A woman who had (what I certainly think was) a humorous sign on her gate saying "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah's Witnesses" was forced to take it down by British police because it is "distressing, offensive and inappropriate".
If they want to stop you expressing themselves, do not threaten them but do not feel any great need to be unduly polite, make them arrest you and take the matter to court, every single time.
By that I mean the suggestion that every contact with the police become a defiant confrontation is much the same as the idea that the best way to deal with a malfunctioning piece of electronics is to go to the store and berate whatever clerk is manning the counter at that moment.
