Strawberry Blonde stars James Cagney as a man who falls in love with a gold-digging society girl but loses the opportunity to court her to his best friend. He remains enamored by her, even after marrying another woman. I'm more familiar with James Cagney in gangster roles, so I thought this was a good choice to go with so I could see him doing something different. I also don't think I've seen too many Rita Hayworth movies, if I've seen any at all, so I was intrigued. This was a day in which I had trouble narrowing down the film I wanted to feature, so if Strawberry Blonde isn't for you (or you've already seen it), check out Jimmy the Gent or The Roaring Twenties, because it was between those two and Strawberry Blonde that I was choosing from. 

If you're following along on social media, the tags are #CagneyTCM or #SUTS and if you happen to watch Strawberry Blonde (or the other two films) use the tag #atvdailycinema so I can see what you think. See you tomorrow!
