Review of The Fighting 69th (1940) by Private U — 06 Jul 2007
It's an interesting, Hollywood-ized take on the Fighting 69th. James Cagney does a great job, and it's kind of a surprisingly role for him, considering that his character is, simply, a coward hiding behind a bad attitude, and succeeds in getting several men killed.
Pat O'Brien had a corner on playing priests back then, and tries to straighten Cagney out.
