This is a terrible movie. O'Brien shouts every one of his lines. Why, we don't know. And why does he have the power to make everyone, including the police chief, do his bidding? Even execute someone. I wonder if all those high ratings were from people who even saw the movie. The script made no sense. Was this supposed to be a comedy? It certainly wasn't funny. The biting quips were just obnoxious, not particularly clever. The only likable character was the criminal revolutionary. Maybe because, in a bizarre twist, it was played by George Tobias. Cagney and Sheridan are good actors, but they were used poorly in a bad script with bad direction. Do not bother.
