I never tire of this movie. It has Claudette Colbert, Don Ameche, and John Barrymore. Claudette Colbert stows away to Paris on a train, crashes parties, pretends to be royalty, its a fun, crazy movie. And John Barrymore pretends to be Francie... Here's a sample. Watch the whole film for a good classic laugh.

This is one of these movies that changes plot 50 times , but it still works. James Cagney is spoofing is gangster roles and doing a swell job of it I might say. He goes from working at a hotel, joining a gang of crooks, being on the lam, being an extra in a movie, being a movie star, back on the lam and the end. The beauty of it is all this action takes place in an hour and 16 minutes. Hey they talk fast. Plus Mae Clark is in there getting beat up again, poor Mae... here's a clip, if its on TCM be sure to watch it. It's a wild ride James Cagney showing Mae Clark the door like only James Cagney can. FILM NOIR FRIDAY
