Product Description:
Ex-Golden Gloves fighter Danny Kenny has it all worked out. He'll turn pro to bankroll his brother's dream of writing a symphonic paean to the teeming city where they both live: New York. But life pulls the sidewalk out from under Danny when he's blinded during a brutal 15-round welterweight title bout. James Cagney plays Danny in this heart-tugging melodrama co-starring Ann Sheridan Anthony Quinn film-debuting Arthur Kennedy and in a rare acting turn before becoming a director Elia Kazan. Among familiar studio players there's an unbilled one: a vivid backlot and rear-screen Manhattan. "Sometimes we wonder" The New York Times' Bosley Crowther wrote "whether it wasn't really the Warner brothers who got New York from the Indians so diligent and devoted have they been in feeling the great city's pulse."Running Time: 104 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 012569791770 Manufacturer No: 79177

A very inspiring movie glorifying the one who joyfully overcomes obstacles, doesn't complain: is a victor and
not a victim. Excellent.

I love sappy love stories. Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, Titanic are magnificent films. But, this story is special to me. Cagney's undying devotion and love for Sheridan melts my heart. Ah what can I say but "You'll always be my girl". I've searched for over 25 years to find a copy of Steiner's magnificent New York Rhapsody, and just got it. I'm listening to it as I write this. Great, romantic movie. One of my favorites.

City for Conquest is an ambitious film about New York City, based on a novel written in the late 30s. James Cagney is the quintessential New Yorker here, playing his characterization to the hilt, and to great affect.
Ann Sheridan is his "goil," who learns the meaning of love too late, but just in time. Though a decent hoofer (and a great cryer), Sheridan is saddled by her dance partner in the film, Anthony Quinn, who couldn't dance a lick. Thus, dance shots were at a distance or closeups ... Read More

James Cagney plays a fighter who's trying to impress his squeeze (Ann Sheridan) with his boxing ability, though she has some ambitions of her own, mainly a dancing career that partners her with the oily Anthony Quinn. Arthur Kennedy also appears (his debut in movies) as Cagney's brother, who dreams of writing long-hair symphonies one day but is busy now churning out pop tunes. When Cagney has success in the ring, he refuses to take back Sheridan, who also has success in her dancing career. Then the tide ... Read More

For me, "City For Conquest" is so honest in its emotion that I totally accept what others might call over-the-top melodramatics. It mirrors, on the outside, what most of us feel on the inside, especially in the dynamics of relationships. Think about those times when you were in love with someone and all the positives and negatives that were part of it; remember the emotional level you felt. Then see if you can feel that in the outward expression of this movie. The Max Steiner score is almost non-stop and ... Read More
