James Cagney & Joan Blondell,
Ray Milland, Louis Calhern, Guy Kibbee.
Dir: Roy Del Ruth, 1931, Warner Bros.

SYNOPSIS:
A bellhop and a chambermaid set out to fleece gullible tourists.

"In 1929 I met that delightful trouping lady Joan Blondell in Maggie the Magnificent at the Cort Theatre. In the show I played a young heel and Joan was the character comedienne, all gum chewing and wisecracks and sidelong glances. I also must say I noted at the time that she had a perfectly beautiful body - something my bride knows I've said a number of times."
- Jimmy Cagney.

REVIEWS:
"A smart con-man comedy with the star in excellent form."
- Leslie Halliwell.
"Naughty cracks galore but he doesn't push a grapefruit in the girlfriend's face, thought they expect it anytime."
- Variety.
"A chipper, hard-boiled, amusing essay in petty thieving."
- Time.
