Let me simply say this - if they ever comprised a list of the top 7 Greatest movie endings in cinematic history - James Cagney would be responsible for 3 of them!!!! The Death Row scene in "Angels with Dirty Faces" Dancing Down the White House Stairs in " Yankee Doodle Dandy" and of course the iconic Petroleum Tower scene at the end of "White Heat" There will Never and I mean Never be another actor who could captivate a scene like the one and only James Francis Cagney - Class / Talent!!!

Cagney was the greatest gangster in the history of film...but you never hated him...showing his love for longtime friend Jerry the priest by playing a coward ....and showing his vulnerability by pleasing the only person he ever trusted...his mom...and showing his love of country in YANKEE...by improvising the tap dance full of pride after speaking to the President. i loved Cagney.... Great comment....

Mr. 0' Brien, I teared up reading your comment. I totally agree on the scenes you noted. The end of Angels is devastating and excruciating to see. He was the greatest entertainer and a great man. ❤🎉

When I seen him in Yankee Doodle dandy, that's all it took. Everything he does and learning that he's a great artist, that's icing on the cake. Love him, wish I could have met him

Thank you for uploading this. I had it on VHS but due being almost 50 years old, the tape has corroded. Just a shame the start of James Acceptance speech is missing, but I've seen it a few times on KZitem. I'd emailed AFI to try to buy the ceremony, but they never replied. I had all of James Cagney films on DVD/Video or recorded from TV. Unfortunately I had to throw most away, due to videos being covered in white powder due to corrosion. Was great to see this again, especially Frank Sinatras musical tribute.

He played FLT ADM James Halsey Jr. so fantastically well, it was almost spiritual. The soundtrack was equally moving, if not more.

Estoy viendo un tributo a James cagney y anteriormente disfruté hasta las lágrimas de ver el tributo a Freddy asteire' verlos a todos juntos en ese homenaje al mejor bailarín de la música americana,junto a las mujeres más hermosas de su época fue' un gran placer' pero les pregunto,:porque no hacen la traducción al Español? Sería fenomenal escuchar las bromas de barisnikoy,Bob fose,y escuchar en vivo las mujeres que tuvieron la oportunidad de bailar junto al inigualable fred Astaire ❤❤❤😅😅😅😅;desde Argentina ,un gran admirador de estos homenajes* ahora estoy viendo bailar a Bob hope junto a James cagnes😂😂😂😂😂😂

I know that unfortunately the start of James Cagney acceptance speech is missing (the 9 minute is available on KZitem). IMDB states the tribute was 75 minutes in length. That may/may not include names etc.
