Rating for the movie The Fighting 69th James Cagney movie rating Star for the Fighting 69th Four star movie rating

Moving World War I story based on the famed New York Irish 69th Regiment and its beloved chaplain, Father Francis Duffy, played in the movie by Pat O'Brien. James Cagney plays another member of the regiment (this one fictional), a cocky kid from Brooklyn who turns coward under fire. Because of his cowardice many casualties occur, and he is shunned by all in the regiment except for Father Duffy, who considers him a lost sheep that must be returned to the fold. Touching story with strong performances, especially by the Cagney and O'Brien.
