'I Don't Want To Play In Your Yard'


The scene - early in the movie - in the barroom where The Oklahoma Kid (Cagney) has the piano player play "I Don't Want To Play In Your Yard" and he sings along - and then has the fight with McCord (Bogart) and his gang is one of my all-time favorite Cagney scenes. The part where Wes Handley (Ward Bond) tries to interrupt his singing is - to me - priceless!

Cagney is my all time favorite.That scene is great and funny.My favorite is still the prison scene from White Heat when he goes ballistic in hearing his "ma" has passed on.
