This being James Cagney's first film you see the reason that Warner signed him, his character in this is a Mischievous young man and this ends up with him making a very big mistake. His mother played by Lucille La Verne is the typical mothering figure protecting her little boy including her telling him and other members of the family off for their own good is funny and Cagney playing alongside The likes of Joan Blondell and Evalyn Knapp just makes this short 1 hour film a cute little tale. Cagney and Blondell are so alike in their acting and giggles that they went on to make a fair few films together and they do it so well.
great acting, short but sweet film and a great start for Cagney
