Ambitious, Delightful, Enchanting, Entertaining, Great dancing

See it if You're a fan of James Cagney & want to learn more about his life (he's more than those gangster movies!). You want to see amazing dancing.

Don't see it if You don't like biographical shows or the real-life actor James Cagney. You don't care for song and dance, or hearing about Hollywood.
