But I like to rationalize my nightmares”Ĭagney and O’Brien play brothers in “The Irish in Us” The part of the cop who, who loses his girl to his kid brother, is taken by Pat O’Brien, who is one of those actors I should like to see perform once a year only in an all-star cast including Mr George Arliss, Mr Herbert Marshall, Mr Jack Hulbert, Miss Cicely Courtneidge, Mr Carl Brisson, and Miss Penelope Dudley-Ward. His latest unfortunate discovery, Carbon Hammerschlog, who, when he is told can use the bath replies, ‘Every time I wash in one of them things I get embarassed,’ is luckily played by Mr Allen Jenkins, so Mr Cagney has some support in a film which I admit has a few amusing moments and an excellent boxing match. Mr Cagney is the youngest and favourite son his brothers, a cop and a fireman, disapprove of him because he won’t take a proper job but tries unsucessfully to become a boxing manager. It is a film of exactly complacent sentimentality which one would expect from the title, of an old mother and her adoring sons. “ Mr James Cagney is one of the most reliable actors on the screen his vigour, speed and humour are just as apparent in The Irish in Us, a film to discourage a less hard-working and conscientious actor, as in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
