The Strawberry Blonde
Times have changed, but Cagney hasn't!
Directed by Raoul Walsh
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A charming 1940s romantic comedy about misplaced desire and friendship, where a man learns that what he thought he wanted wasn't what he truly needed.
Biff Grimes is desperately in love with Virginia, but his best friend Hugo marries her and manipulates Biff into becoming involved in his somewhat nefarious businesses. Hugo appears to have stolen Biff's dreams, and Biff has to deal with the realisation that having what he wants and wanting what another has can be very different things.
