Blonde Crazy describes the perpetual mental state of James Cagney. A conniving bellhop, Cagney increases his bank account by using his blonde girlfriend Joan Blondell as a come-on to various "sugar daddies" whom he suckers out of their hard-earned cash. When the pair try their con game in New York, they fall victim to sharpster Louis Calhern. Angry that Cagney has lost their money, Blondell marries straight-arrow Ray Milland. Cagney tries to get back the dough by committing a holdup, and is promptly arrested. Blondell, realizing that Cagney has landed in jail because of her, throws over her husband and vows to wait for Cagney. As amoral as a bagful of alley cats, Blonde Crazy is good dirty fun from Hollywood's randy pre-code era. Hal Erickson
