CAGNEY'S FAREWELL
Students of literature will recognize this as an adaptation of Heinrich von Kleist's novella "Michael Kohlhaas." When a black man in early 20th century America is the victim of a nasty practical joke, his exagerrated sense of justice will permit no rest until the perperators are punished--even if this means murder. One could quibble that a black man in this particular period must have been subjected to many more severe insults than the one which causes all the trouble. Nevertheless, this is a compelling story well told. A nice job all around. In his last role, James Cagney is fine as a police inspector. And I had forgotten what a peach Elizabeth McGovern was at age 20!
