Terrible Joe Moran (1984 TV Movie)
5/10
possibly a bad bad idea
4 August 2009
i haven't screened 'terrible Joe yet but plan to in a few minutes. i've had it taped since the original broadcast but forgot about it.was in a cagney mood tonight and decided i better see this in order to complete my cagney history.i was looking forward to it but if virtually every piece of his dialogue is dubbed by a bad impersonator as the other reviewer commented, i'd have to say before viewing it already has to stink! what a bad idea. if you're shooting Jimmy Cagney in his last film it better be all him and if he was too ill to do the job at that time, then shelve the project. and rely on his bull halsey biopic of 1960"the gallant Hours" to be your last great jimmy film and it was the best nonon-action oriented war film ever done i think.if Bull Halsey was much different in appearance or sound from Cagney, i don't want to know about it.
