NEW YORK—This musical about the life of movie superstar James Cagney was a labor of love for performer Robert Creighton. He made a study of Cagney for years and came up with this credible version of the star’s life.
Furthermore, Creighton wrote some of the songs—the others are by Christopher McGovern and no less a personage than George M. Cohan.
James Cagney tries to escape his tough guy image, which he solidified in such films as 'White Heat' and 'The Public Enemy.'
