“Come out and take it, you dirty yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!” Amid city sounds in lieu of music, cocky Yiddish redndiker cabby Jimmy Cagney can’t keep his hands off bride Loretta Young at their wedding supper, then bucks a rival taxi outfit in a two-fisted union war. Manhattan native Cagney learned to drive for the role.
