Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a scene from Cagney's 1933 precoder "Hard to Handle". On the left is Ruth Donelly as Lil Waters, gold-digging mother of Ruth Waters, played by Mary Brian, on the right. Ruth is in love with Cagney's character, but Lil wants to make sure Ruth marries money. When Cagney is doing well, Lil's all for him as a future son-in-law. When he's not, she's after a photographer - " a 25000 dollar a year man" - as she describes him. The girls dress alike and Lil is always referring to herself and her daughter as "we", as in "we love you" or "we can't marry a pauper like that". Cagney plays an advertising promoter whose ideas sometimes work and sometimes don't, but always to comic effect. This film is not on DVD or VHS, so chances are you've never heard of it. Another interesting tidbit - Ruth Donelly and Mary Brian are actually only about ten years apart in age, yet play mother and daughter pretty effectively.
