He Was Her Man

Having finked out the onetime partners who had sent him up the river, safecracker Flicker Hayes (James Cagney) fled to the West Coast ahead of the mob’s button men. He made a road companion out of Rose Lawrence (Joan Blondell), an ex-hooker looking to make a new life as a Monterey fisherman’s mail-order bride...but their growing mutual attraction may be destined for violent heartbreak. Intense pre-Code effort, the final Cagney-Blondell tandem, also stars Victor Jory, Ralf Harolde, Frank Craven. 70 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
