James Cagney: Paperback Book (Applause Legends Series) - Softcover
(Applause Books). The study of James Cagney's screen persona is far more than a profile of a great beloved star. It is a meditation on over a half-century of social history. From Cagney's early days to such successes as Yankee Doodle Dandy , Schickel follows the star's spectacular career. A great dancer who became a great actor, James Cagney could play George M. Cohan or Public Enemy No. 1 with equal ease and conviction. This book explains how. (Richard Schickel is chief cinema critic of Time Magazine .)

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 186 Pages. No marks or stamps. Light cover edge wear. Although James Cagney was branded 'tough guy' almost from the moment he asserted his claim to stardom over half a century ago in Public Enemy, Richard Schickel forcefully argues in this analysis of the actor's screen characters and career that this label could not be more misleading. This book shows how he began his Hollywood career as the movies' first symbol of the aspirations of America's urban second generation. But after the apotheosis that was Yankee Doodle Dandy, both Cagney and the world began to age and change. Richard Schickel's study of Cagney's screen personality is far more than a profile of a great and beloved star. It is a meditation on over a half century's social history, a reflection not merely on a screen character, but on the changing national character which Cagney refracted. This book is both a joy for admirers of Cagney's artistry and a must for anyone seriously interested in the history of film. Contents in Seven Chapters: Introduction, Fresh Mutt, The Sidewalks of New York, A Quality of Some Kind, Factory Work, Something to Remember, Inside Blackness, and Shrewd Means.
