There is no rhyme or reason to "The Link Of The Day," there is no set pattern to why I link to what I link to, other then the fact that in my travels via the net I discover links that interest me. And if it interests me, then it could be of interest to you, too. Sometimes a "Link Of The Day" will last for more then just one day, sometimes there won't be a link at all. It's all random. But! If YOU have a site that should be featured on "Link Of The Day," just send it to me with a brief description of the site with it's URL. And send along a banner! Thanks a billion - keep your chins up and your fedora's on! |

Jim Keefe: "A Work in Progress,
"Spanning a lively decade in the career of one of Hollywood's
greatest stars, The James Cagney Signature Collection highlights
Cagney's versatility beyond the gangster roles he was best known for.
You won't find any of Jimmy's hard-boiled classics in this five-disc
set, but you'll find plenty to enjoy, with each film given the care and
respect we've come to expect from Warner Bros.' archival DVD releases.
From the World War I heroism of The Fighting 69th to the musical
extravaganza The West Point Story, these five films represent
fully one-third of Cagney's movie output from 1940 to 1950, and they're
all above-average showcases for Cagney's enduring appeal. For sheer
entertainment value, the best of the bunch is 1940's Torrid Zone,
a still-delightful comedy teaming Jimmy with his best pal Pat O'Brien
and Hollywood's "Oomph Girl," Ann Sheridan, in a savvy send-up of
tropical adventure. Cagney loved working with O'Brien (who also costars
in The Fighting 69th), and this collection also highlights
Cagney's generous penchant for surrounding himself with some of
Hollywood's best-loved character actors, like George Tobias, Alan Hale
(Sr. and Jr.), George Brent, and others. And while 1941's The Bride
Came C.O.D. teamed Cagney and Bette Davis for the second and final
time (resulting in a breezy comedy that shows both stars at their most
endearing), 1942's Captains of the Clouds is a
standard-yet-sturdy example of Hollywood's wartime patriotism, with
Cagney (in his first Technicolor feature) as a seasoned pilot recruited
into the Royal Canadian Air Force. The latest film in this batch, 1950's
The West Point Story, was conspicuously promoted to capitalize on
Cagney's Oscar-winning role in 1942's Yankee Doodle Dandy, and
while it's the most dated movie in this set, it's still got plenty to
offer in terms of Cagney's unique style of showmanship."
