[QUOTE="Toni, post: 312241, member: 82"] This week I also watched another Cagney-Davis comedy wannabe called "Jimmy the Gent". It wasn´t funny but hey, it was so short that I didn´t mind it. Davis stole the show from beginning to end, with an apparently supporting role that is not such! She elevates over the movie as if she didn´t really care what kind of trash she has been assigned to, and her acting is so contemporary, so 21st century, that at some point I thought: "Wow, she makes me think of Susan Sarandon..." Oh irony of ironies... Her gowns look almost Sci-fi, and her eyelashes are as fake as her blonde wig (or was it her real hair?). Of course, it´s Davis who I am talking about, but she doesn´t share many scenes with Cagney, who is the main star here. The plot is nonsense, and only Mayo Methot, Bogart´s ex-wife, really seems to be able to chew and spit some of her co-stars in the middle of that farce. Good for any (bored) Davis fan (I guess).
