Charming, actually.

I was charmed through and through. The scene where Cagney asks the woman about her children, talks about being in Paris, and the viewer is led to believe these two people may have known one another - was so romantic, so intimate, so intense. Without the camera spending much time on Cagney but a lot of focus on HER.

It was a great scene. It's something that you rarely see without feeling the set-up and the prepping for the emotional KAPOW to the audience.

That was just perfection, to me, So quietly perfect, short and sweet.

All of these scenes. All of these interactions. This wonderful pace. These wonderful feelings. And all without music (other than the piano and the Salvation Army band). Great stuff.
