They broke the mold when God made Cagney. He's immortal in my book...
AMEN TO THAT
The best
You said it!
What in the world COULDN'T James Cagney do??? As brilliant a dramatic actor as comedic... as great a dancer as there ever was and a signing voice to boot. Few people as talented have ever walked god's green earth.
In one word, sing
@@samwa8577 he could sing if you watch, Yankee doodle Dandy
I couldn’t agree more! I simply adore him. 💗
And don't forget the great camera-work in this. Talented and inventive people, all-around. A truly great number.
Several good songs in this movie that were written by the same two who did other movies such as Lullaby of Broadway. Harry Warren and Al Dubin. I really like this number and one never really associates Warner with putting out musicals. One of the sets if I recall was the most expensive set built in those days (the swimming pool dance number).
i love where the camera does a 360 . very imaginative
1st WOMAN: He's shaking like he's got a chill
2nd WOMAN: I know what it takes
To cure him of the shakes
1st MAN: Ah, what he wants is Shanghai Lil
2nd MAN: Oh, she's a fascinatin' heathen
3rd WOMAN: But say! She ain't been through the mill
3rd MAN: Since she met that gob, she's acting like a snob
4th WOMAN: Say, who the heck is Shanghai Lil?
5th WOMAN: That Chinee devil!
6th WOMAN: No, she's on the level, she can't hurt you and me
7th WOMAN: That Oriental dame is detrimental to our industry
8th WOMAN: You said it!
4th MAN: I offered 'er a 'ouse in London
5th MAN: And I a château in the ville
6th MAN: She says she won't be mine for all of Palestine, Oy!
9th WOMAN: They all go for Shanghai Lil
SAILOR:
Come on, let's drink to Lil
He's looking for her still
Drink her down to Shanghai Lil
ALL:
Hey!
ALL:
Here's to the gal who loves a sailor
It's looking like she always will
SAILOR:
She's every sailor's pal, she's anybody's gal
ALL:
Drink her down to Shanghai Lil
SAILORS:
He can knock 'em down
And he can lay 'em low
Fighting for his . . .
CAGNEY:
Shanghai Lil!
KEELER:
I miss you very much a long time
I think that you no love me still
CAGNEY:
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for you, Shanghai Lil
KEELER:
I think you go with other sweethearts,
And very many tears I spill
SAILORS:
He's been looking high and he's been looking low
Looking for you, Shanghai Lil
KEELER:
I got new lover
CAGNEY:
You little devil, you're just a butterfly
KEELER:
I like new lover
CAGNEY:
You're still on the level, you can't kid this guy
KEELER:
I pray to Buddha in the joss-house
And Buddha, he bring back my Bill
SAILORS:
He's been looking high and he's been looking low
Looking for you, Shanghai Lil
KEELER:
Oh please, you take me on great big steamboat
With you across the sea
CAGNEY:
I'd like to take you, but that great big steamboat
Don't belong to me
ALL:
The stars that hang high over Shanghai
Bring back the memory of a thrill
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for my Shanghai Lil
I learnt to love her
The little devil was just a butterfly
But you discover something on the level
Shining in her eye
Oh, I've been trying to forget her
But what's the use, I never will
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Till I find my Shanghai Lil
30s musicals almost always had one screamingly funny element to them: numbers that were supposedly performed on theater stages, but were on the scale of "The Ten Commandments". Earlier in this very film, there was an incredibly elaborate "aquacade" number where you see the swimmers from above (neat trick), forming all sorts of kaleidoscopic patterns that you would never see or appreciate from eye level. Just take a look at all the camera movements, edits, closeups, and cross-cuts in "Shanghai Lil", and you realize that only a movie could bring this sequence to life. As it does, spectacularly.
Oh, and by the way: Jimmy Cagney WAS A GOD! Compare his musical work here, and in "Yankee Doodle Dandy"; and then watch him play a bone-chilling psychopathic murderer in "White Heat" -- and you feel like crying out to God "Couldn't You have saved some talent for the rest of us?"
I noticed the same since I saw the first Busby Berkeley's musical. Think to the final number in 42 Street for instance, or Remember my forgotten man from Golddigers of 1933. But isn't this stravaganza part of the ipnotical beauty of these films?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterpiece! Probably my favorite musical number of all time. This one had it all, sex and drugs and Jimmy & Ruby. Busby was a genius...❤❤❤
‘That Oriental dame is detrimental….She won’t be mine for all of Palestine…’
The whole set-piece is a masterpiece.
Oye
"Shanghai Lil" was the name of the B-24 Liberator that my Dad, a nosegunner, flew in the Pacific during WWII. That is what brought me here.
Many plaudits to your dad!!! It was my dad who was a kid during the war that taught me all about B24s and these great musicals!
Master scene, Ruby Keeler and James Cagney at the peak of their careers. Amazing choreography, fantastic photography, great Warren-Dubin composition and arrangement and expert direction of Mr. Berkeley!!
You mean peak of youth. Cagney career was just getting started...
@@moriahjacobs6131 indeed. Ruby didn't do much after the 30s. Yet Cagney was still pumping out movies
Up until now, he'd only been known on-screen for his gangster movies. This scene was the first time he really danced in a movie. And, he had to fight to get the part.
Fantastic, this incredible actor, dancer, James Cagney seemed to dance above the ground, so light on his feet..
then be the toughest, meanest man..
That's talent...Mr Cagney looked like my Grandfather., or Visa versa..
Wonderful clip..what a bar room brawl
...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best musical movies ever, the cast is amazing, Cagney, Powell, Joan Blondell, Frank McHugh, Ruby Keeler, Hugh Herbert, etc
In the long annals of entertainment man oh man Cagney kicked ass. Born to do it.
An amazing masterpiece that contains all major aspects of the period and its genre. Spectacular. One of those movies that truly becomes more wonderful each time I enjoy. The only drawback is that some people have to pay to view. So many years after release plus as a film enshrined in the National registery should mean footlight parade is forever free to view. Total, worldwide public property. Shame on any company charging any fee to stream this beautiful piece of our human soul.
Just buy it on eBay.
James Cagney was HOT!
singers333 god I know it! My favorite actor ever! These actors now don't compare. I would have loved to have been his girl!
Jacqie Yates me too!!
Me too..his facial expressions, smile, his body movements and style..super hot!
He had it all!!!
One of a kind!
Cagney was tops when it comes to any of the tap dancing numbers as well as his portrayals in gangster tough guy films.
James Cagney R.I.P
☆☆☆☆☆☆
CagMan was soooo light on his feet, and absolutely did this sequence seamlessly with Ruby..(we had a ginger cat, we named after him..his nickname was CagMan, please forgive..I admired James Cagney hugely)
James Cagney was among my top favorites!
This was the first time Cagney ever danced in a movie, and it stunned audiences.
My favorite actor...my second is Bogey.....but he couldn't dance and sing like Cagney.
Keeping in mind when this was made, I cant believe there was a black man in the scene just hanging out with the rest of the people. He wasn't even a waiter or something or something like that!
pre code was color blind apparently.
@PalmerEldritch666 - You need to get an education and understand the context. The women of ill repute said "that" oriental meaning she as an individual draws more men's attention as she is more attractive. Take the chip off your shoulders and realize that there were racial issues then but that lyric was not one of them.
What a shame they descended into the vileness regarding black people. Only allowed to do cameo type appearances. Even Louis Armstrong wasn't a full cast member.
@PalmerEldritch666 I can certainly agree that American Cinema in 1933 had engaged stereotypes.
@@lorrainepaul5928 What was exactly vile? We can agree stereotypes were used. What drives the movies is entertainment value and $$$. One year later came the Hayes Act that stymied anything that they though was sexually charged and immoral. Meanwhile, 1930's had several films with all black casts and again - designed for entertainment and $$$ with an expected audience that was primarily black. Incidentally, you'll find in the 40's various talented black entertainers doing "cameos" and in some instances are show stoppers. Here is some amazing talent
that is highlighted - ua-cam.com/video/JTwy8ruyY40/v-deo.html
Oh my, he’s beautiful. This scene has it all. I just love that, in a matter of minutes, he goes from starting a bar brawl to singing and dancing - and even in this short clip he blows me away!
Maybe by modern standards he’s not as “handsome” as today’s actors, but to me he’s infinitely more attractive. I hate to say it, but there doesn’t seem to be much more to most of the actors now than just that - looks.
I was wildly in love with Cagney when I was a kid, watching his movies on TV. (I think when I saw this one, they cut part of this scene and edited part of it so the spaced-out opium blondes were not shown, and you couldn't see that one blonde whose boobs were practically hanging out of her dress). Cagney was not conventionally handsome, but his lithe, animal-like grace and extraordinarily expressive face and eyes (not to mention how he said his lines) just floored me. For all his incredible sexiness, he remained married and faithful to one woman, his wife, Frances, for 64 years.
Gale Manning I've loved this man since I was 12. He went Home when I was 19, and even now at 51, I still love him. That smile, those eyes, that grace, just wow! I have heard stories about other actresses in his time that did their best to get in his pants, to no avail. He was a one woman man, and that's really the sexiest thing of all. RIP Jimmy C, you were the bees knees!
Remember today with the help of a make up artist and the right light, anyone can be luscious. You have to something with it. Wow, I haven't been to a movie since....?
@@ChristChickAutistic Spoken like a true lady.
Just watched this. So much sub text in there and social commentary if you want to analyse it but I don't,but you could. But James Cagney. Never seen his gangster movies. Was astonished when I saw him start to dance in a film with Bob Hope. Realised then how talented this man was. It's his face. The obvious intelligence. He doesn't have to say or do a lot because somehow his face says it and it's the tiniest of facial movements too.
If only we could rekindle this kind of magical movie making.
Dresses would have been risqué for the time.
I wish the whole movie was about this Opium Den !!! Surreal and erotic in a decadent proto- Bob Fosse way.
They stop short of showing any of the ladies actually smoking opium (a little too much even pre-Code, perhaps), but it is obvious that they are meant to be spaced out.
He was 5'5" but still pulled off the tough guy.
Absolutely extraordinary! A dream sequence! How bout the gorgeous women and costumes 38 sec? Then Ruby and Cagney’s sublime vocals and dancing
Another Busby Berkeley masterpiece
the great james cagney in of my favorite movies of his...too bad for the hayes code...movies just weren't the same thereafter...
Beautiful scantily clad women getting stoned in a Chinese opium den, thank God this great film was made before the Hays code.
Gotta love the very pre-code last line of the movie: James Cagney proposes to Joan Blondell and then says, "I'll make ya LOVE it!"
I thought the movie was pre-code considering the women and what they were almost wearing.
Yes, what a fabulous closing line! ❤
The full scene of Shanghai Lil begins in the dressing room where Cagney finds his lead actor drunk. They struggle and Cagney makes his famous fall down the stairs. Then he comes to life, singing and dancing the role himself. The scene includes American sailors marching in formation and displaying the image of FDR! At the end producers in the audience sign a contract and Cagney, back stage again, proposes to Joan Blondell. The film ends.
If you want to watch the entire Shanghai Lil scene, it should include this complete sequence. If not you are being ripped off!
Temples reaching to the stars, international bazaars
Chummy little Chinese ladies, drinking at those dinky bars
Balmy breezes rom the sea, blossoms in the cherry tree
Everything is so familiar, but where, oh, where is she
I've covered every little highway
And I've been climbing every hill
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for my Shanghai Lil
The stars that hang high over Shanghai
Bring back the memory of a thrill
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for my Shanghai Lil
I learned to love her
The little devil was just a butterfly
But you'd discover something on the level
Shining in her eye
Oh, I've been trying to forget her
But what's the use, I never will
I'll be looking high and I'll be looking low
Till I find my Shanghai Lil
Anxiously I cast an eye on each street throughout Shanghai
Plenty Oriental ladies beckon as they pass me by
But my mind just can't erase one outstanding lovely face
So, until the day I find out, I'll never leave this place
I've covered every little highway
And I've been climbing every hill
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for my Shanghai Lil
The stars that hang high over Shanghai
Bring back the memory of a thrill
I've been looking high and I've been looking low
Looking for my Shanghai Lil
I learned to love her
The little devil was just a butterfly
But you'd discover something on the level
Shining in her eye
Oh, I've been trying to forget her
But what's the use, I never will
I'll be looking high and I'll be looking low
Till I find my Shanghai Lil

John Paradise Thanks for commenting the lyrics. ❤️ it!
As far as I'm concerned James Carney is the sexiest man in the history of movies. He leaves me breathless.
No question about it. When I was a kid, I was soooo in love with him. Still am.
He was my first love, when I was 12, and all these years later, he still is. I think he's why I've always loved gingers, bad boys, dancers, and men who are shorter and compact with hooded eyes and killer smirks.
same when i was a kid i was head over heels for him
Cagney was great in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" of where he won an Oscar for best actor. But too bad he wasn't even nominated for best actor in "White Heat".
☆☆☆☆☆
Me too! The all singing dancing OG! Talk about charisma! Take me away Jimmy Cay...
Disappointed - not even close to being the whole scene! WB is being cheap!!
You SAID THAT Right !! And the way they keep Angels with Dirty Faces from being shown on TCM - obviously just because of Greed … is really, truly disgusting
SUCH a Great American classic like that?
BAH. $$$$$
Give me a break, new Warner Bros. -
not only do I smell a rat, I smell a real rotten stink.
You won't see any opium dens with scantily clad women in movies made after 1933. Amazing number. Berkleys best work was in the 30s I think.
James is the King.
I don't quite like Ruby Keeler. She looked like she's having a hard time keeping in balance. James Cagney was a better dancer in this clip.
Yes, her arms are flailing all about as she tap dances, while Cagney, smooth as butter, moves his arms in synch with the footwork. Yet Ruby Keeler was supposed to be a professional & better dancer??
Jimmy Cagney was a fine dancer - Yankie doodle Dandy 1942 - shows of his dance work to the best advantage - but this is also very noteworthy - and what a surprise to an audience who new him best for his gangster roles
1933 ... and hardly a single person onscreen can be any younger than 20. It is like watching ghosts. These people are gone, every last one of them.
And so will you be...the circke of life.
A Hollywood great....forever.
Love the pre-code and the talent and majesty or it…
How bittersweet it must have been. Such INCREDIBLE films... But knowing that once it was out of theaters one wouldn't get to see it again.
1:06 - 1:15 Art Deco aesthetic so stunning. looks like de Lempicka painting.
Love the jazzy sound on the bar counter. Starting the swingy music sound. Hes so natural acting like shes the star because he was just subbing unexpectedly for the drunk.
*I think, from the perspective of 'Story/Song/ Tandem-Tap/Artistic Interpretation'/that
this is possibly the finest performance of it's kind ever put on film*
(yes, the Nicholas Brothers and many others like 'Fred/Ginger'...and the 'best of them all'
Shirley/'Bojangles' did surpass this single performance...but not in terms of 'conveying the
meaning' of the "Shanghai Lil" number had with Cagney and Keeler. They were 'magic' in
this performance!
(I personally feel much of Cagney's performing abilities were completely wasted or
'mis-Directed' in many of the movies he was in...I think he did them strictly for the money as
well as being in need of 'screen-time' to not be thought-of as 'stale' or 'out-of-date')
"One/Two/Three" was executed brilliantly by Cagney, who proved he still 'had it' as the over-
worked Coke executive...his comedic-timing and 'expressions' were on full display despite
having not played that 'type' of role in decades!
Breathtakingly beautiful and magical
That den of girls...wow. the look. This needs to be seen in a revival theater..one with the correct format giant box screen.
sclogse1 the beauties at 29 secs???! That dress!!’
How bout the strung out beauties at 1’05-1”18?
Notta Victim Almost a dress jajajajaja!
@@nottavictim5 Exactly. John Ford did this too in an early film. Awesome mood.
A superb number, a powerhouse!
This is NOT the full scene!
Yup....the best part is still to follow!
Came here from Lily Savage version
Me too. 😃
Harry Warren has a fondness for the opera and it shows in this scene. I can almost hear "CARMEN ' in it.
*Take a close look at (**2:13**)...and you'll see John Garfield in an uncredited role as a'sailor in bar-fight'...this must surely be one of his first appearances (maybe first ever) infront of a camera!*
There's some controversy as to whether that bit player is Garfield. In fact film historians say it's NOT him.
I immediately noticed that actor
& thought...I know him!
This isn't the "full scene!" Where is: "I'd like to take you, but that great big steamboat
Don't belong to me?"
I love James Cagney.
This is NOT the full scene. In fact, it has left out the best part---the three minutes that follows the end of this video.
You're right. And it omits Jimmy falling down the stairs before he begins the number.

@@ShindlerReal Thank you!!!!!
That old Vaudeville crowd...those folks sure were talented weren't they?
So many stunningly beautiful women in this film
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for posting.
85 years old this year. Looks great. Cagney at his impish peak.
He was born in 1899 and died in 1986, just shy of his 87 birthday....where do you get 85 years old this year...that year would've been around 1984 and you certainly didn't post this 35 years ago.
@@fscap811 -- I think that they meant *Footlight Parade* was 85 years old this year.
@@bricology ok, that makes sense...thanks
Wonderful number!
Neither Cagney or Keeler could really sing, but it didn't matter, they could both act and dance.
From 上海リル( Japanese version)
I really curious ab thismovie!!
Wish I can watch on Netflix or others!
une scène magnifique !!!
"She said she won't be mine for all of Palestine, Oy." 🤣🤣
I love J Cagneys steppdancing hese balance and very tecnic's footchans
he had a one still!
The Cagney and Keeler dance scene was way TOO SHORT!
NOT the FULL SCENE.
Lily savage brought me here
WOW... 1933... GREAT !.... Tribute to all the actors.... espacially to Shanghai Lil !
absolutely LOVE THIS
What a style !
At 3.12 Cagney looks off camera at someone else.
Lily Savage did a brilliant cover of this
despite saying that this is full scene ,its not, end and start cut, its such a good number,warners would rather have you buy the whole film
Excellent movie.... pre code were so good.
So glad that this has been restored!
I'm laughing because Cagney is CLEARLY a tenor but they've got him singing lower notes than his natural range like a baritone and sometimes his voice cracks.
Id rather have it be a little cracked and natural in that situation than a say Nelson Eddy. lol
Maybe he cracked simply because he wasn't a great singer. In "Never Steal Anything Small", "The West Point Story" or "Yankee Doodle Dandy", he "talks-the-songs". Maybe in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" too, I'm not sure. In "The Oklahoma Kid" he sings, but nothing extraordinary.
PS: Chris Merritt could sing a low A (A2) without cracking and he was a tenor.
She would not be mine for all of Palestine...
FULL SCENE NOT... it continues into the best bit of jingoism ive ever seen, patriotic fervor...done right.
And, it cuts a little bit off of the beginning as Cagney is forced to take over the role and comes down the staircase onto the stage to start the action.
Esta barra tan cosmopolita me hace pensar en Casablanca.En la epica de la Gran Depresion cuanto trabajo dio el cine;y q abundante mano de obra.👀🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿
That piece that she did when she popped up on that bar is *hard!* I can't imagine doing that on a bar!!!
3:23 - 4:24 Tap Dance Routine
wow! that tap dancing!!! never saw this film before!!
Did you happen to notice when Sailor Bill snatches Shanghai Lil's corsage, sniffs it, then tosses it away?
@@laurabrodianfreasberaha4125 Sorry! just saw your response....and checked out Cagney taking the corsage! Lil I san amazing dancer...and I've never seen Cagney tap that well with another partner... I think it helps that they're about the same size every which way!!! Maybe I should join UA-cam, not sure how to get notifications from it.
This is not the full scene
They did it on a 2 1/2ft. bar...Are Your Freakin Kiddin Me!
NOT the full scene, by any means.
Not the full scene, phooey
Not a full scene unfortunately
No offence to Ruby Keeler , but i wish Ginger Rogers was sharing this dance duet with the great Cagney...
Philip Halpenny ... Yeah, I don't know what it was about Ruby Keeler that made her so popular. She couldn't sing, her acting was mediocre, and I always found her dancing leaden-footed.
@@Kjt853 All true - but she was cute as a button!
Dom Doot ... She was also married to Al Jolson, which couldn't have hurt her career.
I think this is Warner brothers where they all worked .
An innocent charm and warmth,on and off screen by all accounts,coupled with great beauty is what she had in my opinion.Ginger was great too though.
Whos he winking to in the scene where she jumps out of the barrel? A couple of sailors drop their rifles in the end routine
A bar with an opium den in the back! I'm in.
why did you cut the end ? never-the-less
MAGNIFICENT
all that build up for Ruby Keeler ? I think not/ She was just pathetic
i love cagney dancing. especially because i grew up seeing him as a gangster
Hay muchos motivos por los cuales esta película es de culto extremo y un clásico, ya casi cumple los 100 años, pocas veces me he maravillado por una película como lo hice con esta, es realmente perfecta.
At 2:13 that's John Garfield.
it's a lookalike, not Garfield.
I own this on blu ray. Great, great movie!
Who else is here because of The Great Movie Ride at Hollywood Studios?
It seems that all the extras in these old movies had to do was be able to pull strange faces no acting skills to spoil the movie
Fantastic
Thank you
Small men can pack a powerful punch!
Beautiful crisp B&W print makes for a feast for the eyes.
