The Time of Your Life

A good-hearted rich man who hanging out at a waterfront drunk dive and helping out a cast of losers. James Cagney pulls the role off without making it seem like the usual aggrandizing of the rich. It's one of his best performances because it's toned down to the point he rarely even stands. The film is more about the poor than Cagney, and they aren't there to be condescended to or laughed at.
