James Cagney icons (and a little bit of Bogie)
Nothing like an update to the Cagney gallery at Simply Classics to get the creative juices flowing. Here are twelve icons featuring James, his dames, and just a bit of Humphrey Bogart. The pairing icons are probably some early Valentine's Day fluff; but on the whole, I think this is one of the prettiest batches of icons I've produced.
By the way, I should note that the first icon is mainly an attempt to break Aspen's brain by disguising Jimmy as Philip Marlowe. *g*

01. Although it looks like it came straight out of G-Men, this icon is amazingly from a candid still--in which Cagney is in the middle of an autograph feeding-frenzy. Maybe that's why he looks a bit anxious...
02. Cagney posing with a really gorgeous car, which I presume was his own.
03. The Oklahoma Kid. No particular remarks, except that I had the hardest time getting this one to look halfway decent.
04. As George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy (which I personally think was not one of the half-dozen films he should have won an Academy Award for, but it did the job anyway). The colorization on this icon only looks so good because it was unintentional.
05. A little confection pairing Cagney with Ann Dvorak. I'm not sure which film the still is for; they did at least two together. Any rumors of a wish on my part to be in her place are entirely accurate.
06. Cagney and Joan Blondell in Blonde Crazy. I'm particularly happy with this icon for some reason; perhaps because it was a preconceived idea that actually turned out the way I intended it.
07. With Blondell again. The still is supposedly connected with The Public Enemy, but there was no such scene in the film. Alas that Joan wasn't given Jean Harlow's part.
08. Cagney and Blondell putting their heads together in Footlight Parade, their most delightfully shippiest movie of all.
09-10. Cagney with his guitar. If my judgment is correct, both pictures come from the set of The Bride Came C.O.D. They should have traded all of Jack Carson's scenes for even one such musical interlude by Cagney in the actual film.
11. Humphrey Bogart aboard the bootlegging ship in The Roaring Twenties. This icon turned out quite happily nautical. His expression is intriguing, too.
12. Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade? I'm not quite sure.
