God DAMN, but Cagney was an amazing dancer--and so sexy, too, in that intensely physical dude-type way.

Yes! And remembered for slamming half a grapefruit into Mae Clarke's face. I wish he had done more dance work onscreen. And more Shakespeare. I can see I have a whole new list of films to watch now.

His explosive, stiff-legged version of tap has the Irish Jig so far up its ass it might as well be wearing it for a necktie.
