After viewing this film, you will never forget the words or tune to "Casey Will Waltz with the Strawberry Blonde" This song is played over and over again and never seems to stop, except for maybe another unknown tune. However, this is a great drama and romance film, with James Cagney,(T.L. Biff Grimes),"Man of a Thousand Faces",'57, playing a Dentist and also married to Olivia De Havilland,(Amy Grimes)"Gone With the Wind",'39. Rita Hayworth,(Virginia Brush),"Blood & Sand",'41, is the hot chick in the neighborhood and most of the men have eyes for her and would like to marry her, even Biff Grimes. Jack Carson, plays a big heel in this film and is always stepping on peoples toes in town. Enjoyed the great supporting role of George Tobias,(Nicholas Pappolos), the local barber in town who seems to always loan money to Biff Grimes. This is one of those sweet and wholesome films from 1941 and it is quite enjoyable. I understand that James Cagney's mother was a Strawberry Blonde and loved this song, no wonder he starred in the film and the song never stop until the very END.
