I loved him in Yankee Doodle Dandy and The Strawberry Blonde. I think I saw both movies twice.

James Cagney Eggs​

This is really such a simple dish, and lives in many places. Also known as Egg in the Hole, Egg with a Hat or Gashouse Egg, this is a simple and filling dish that pleases people on many levels. Essentially it is fried egg toast . . . the unsophisticated sister of French toast . . . or the country cousin to that old city mouse.

Perhaps that is what makes this the "gangster" cousin of Egg in a Hole. It is just a simple addition of some garlic powder and some hot chili flakes . . . (Optional: Serve with grapefruit!)

Had no idea Cagney was a Hoofer, until Turner Classic Films ran his musicals.
I had only seen him in his gangster films, see post 8, and 9.
First time i saw him dancing: "What's this?"

He came from an old vaudeville family.
