An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47" x 63 1/4" [119 x 161 cm]) (Learn More) Great Guy (released in England as "Pluck of the Irish"), the 1936 John G. Blystone crime thriller ("It's tops in Cagney entertainment"; "James Cagney at his best!"; "From the Johnny Cave Stories in the Saturday Evening Post by James Edward Grant"; about the "New York Department of Weights and Measures", which was in charge of making sure the public didn't get cheated on the weight of goods; Cagney is the brash new head of it, who gets the job after the old head is hospitalized for not "playing ball"; Cagney takes on everyone: the crooks who cheat the public, and the crooked politicians who take bribes to let them do it!) starring James Cagney, Mae Clarke, James Burke, Edward Brophy, and Henry Kolker. Of course, this movie reunited James Cagney with Mae Clarke, the actress that had hit in the face with a grapefruit in Public Enemy! Perhaps this was his way of apologizing to her, by co-starring with her! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this gangster movie was released in France, the French distributor surely wanted French audiences to identify with Cagney's 1931 great hit, "The Public Enemy", so they renamed the movie to "Ennemis Public" for its French release (and Mae Clarke, who was famously hit with the grapefruit in The Public Enemy, was again with Cagney).
