Blonde Crazy! That’s a classic film from 1931. Directed by Roy Del Ruth, it stars James Cagney and Joan Blondell. Let me give you a quick rundown of the plot:
Bert
Harris, a hotel bellboy played by Cagney, meets Anne Roberts
(Blondell), who signs up as a chambermaid. They team up to con people
out of money. Their schemes escalate, but Anne falls in love with Bert.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize it until it’s too late. Anne marries
someone else, and Bert ends up in trouble with the law. The film is known for Cagney’s line: "That dirty, double-crossin’ rat!"
It’s a lively and cleverly acted pre-Code romantic comedy-drama.
