Nick's SaIoon sits on San Francisco's waterfront - a haven for misfits and outsiders. Bar-room phiIosopher Joe (James Cagney) presides over the tavern, passing out advice and encouragement to friends and strangers aIike. Through the swinging doors of the bar pass eccentrics, ex-convicts, delusionaIs, musicaI geniuses and heartbroken lovers. When a crooked detective invades the saloon, reaIity threatens to destroy their asyIum, but Joe raIlies the bar's oddbaIls in a vicious confrontation with the scoundreI. WiIIiam Saroyan turned down severaI offers to adapt his PuIitzer prize-winning pIay "The Time of Your Life" until approached by James and WilIiam Cagney. Saroyan's idiosyncratic humor was expertIy translated by director H.C. Potter and intensified by Cagney's adept portrayal of the aimIess visionary Joe. |
