    pretty good

    A nice change of pace for Cagney. It's basically a soap opera with Cagney looking for his 20 year old adopted son, the mother is dead and he goes to an orphanage run by Barbara Stanwyck to find out where he is. James Cagney is great and so is Barbara Stanwyck. Walter Pidgeon doesn't have much to do as Cagney's lawyer. Watch it.
