Johnny Come Lately

A Story of a Wanderer Who Stops His Travels Long Enough to Help A Kindly Old Woman in Distress

James Cagney stars as a human dynamo drifter who comes to the aid of ailing Grace George, helping her save her newspaper. The fast-paced story appeals to audiences of all ages, with the supporting cast capturing small-town characterizations perfectly and Margaret Hamilton standing out. Cagney held genuine affection for the film, listing it among his top five movie-making experiences. It was preserved by the Academy Film Archive with the UCLA Film & Television Archive in 2013.
