Blonde Crazy describes the perpetual mental state of James Cagney. A conniving bellhop, Cagney increases his bank account by using his blonde girlfriend Joan Blondell as a come-on to various "sugar daddies" whom he suckers out of their hard-earned cash. When Jimmy and Joan try their con game in New York, they fall victim to sharpster Louis Calhern. Angry that Cagney has lost their money, Joan marries straight-arrow Ray Milland (in one of his earliest roles) Jimmy tries to get back the dough by committing a holdup, and is promptly arrested. Joan, realizing that Cagney has landed in jail because of her, throws over her husband and vows to wait for Jimmy. Made in the pre-code era when Joan Blondell in the bathtub was sexy rather than sinful, Blonde Crazy is a window on a wise-cracking, flim-flamming, fascinating world. Year: 1931 Director: Roy Del Ruth Starring: James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Louis Calhern, Ray Milland, Guy Kibbee, Polly Walters, William Burress
