Johnny Come Lately (1943)

 

 

Newspaper man wanders about and helps older woman save her paper.

Entertaining, if not too exciting drama with a mild political stance is worth the watch mainly for Cagney's lively performance.
 

Halliwell*: "A turn-of-the-century folksy drama seemed an odd choice for a Cagney independent production, and it was not very persuasively made, but the star produced moments of his old charisma."

Maltin**1/2: "Tame but amusing Cagney vehicle..."
