Steve D @RT35616104 4d Only fun comes from a different kind of role from Cagney. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Apr 29 James Cagney’s electrifying performance, equally complemented by Joan Blondell’s sharp charisma, buoys this more whimsically engaging musical that that definitively transcends its year’s lineup, even if it’s not sensational per conceptually prompted. (B+) See more Ads T @RT11627483 04/30/2025 While the plot is inconsequential, Footlights Parade is one big production number featuring lavish sets, animations, and hordes of scantily-clad starlets performing perfectly synchronised choreography blurring the lines between code and pre-code Hollywood. As such, it's an entertaining picture and a memorable one for James Cagney. See more Xian C @Filmclass 04/22/2025 The pool numbers! Any Buzby Berkeley dance number! See more Alec B @Alec97 01/09/2024 Occupies a strange space between pure fantasy and a realistic portrait of the daily work of show business. Cagney gives remarkably complex performance given how silly the whole thing is. See more David K @RT61474040 04/26/2023 This is a terrific movie. Yes, the plot is thin but it's not about the plot. It's all about all of the great songs and Busby Berkeley choreography. Truly a one-of-a-kind figure in Hollywood. All the regulars - Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, the fabulous Joan Blondell, and the great Jimmy Cagney doing what you don't get to see Cagney do that much - sing and dance. What a treat!
