THE FRISCO KID.
James Cagney & Margaret Lindsay,
Lili Damita, Barton MacLane, Donald Woods.
Dir: Lloyd Bacon, 1935, Warner Bros.

SYNOPSIS:
19th Century pirates raise hell and cause a fuss on the Barbary Coast as our favourate bootlegger swaps booze for gold.

"One of them catch-as-catch-can affairs Warner's put out purely because they had to be put out. By that I mean Frisco Kid had already been sold to the exhibitors even before a foot of it had been shot or conceived. This will give give you some idea of its inherent artistic flavour, the picture was built just the way a Ford Sedan might have been."
- Jimmy Cagney.

REVIEWS:
"A fair drama with the star in action and (less interestingly) in love."
- Leslie Halliwell.
"So similar to Barbary Coast as almost to be its twin but good entertainment nevertheless."
- Variety.
