Blonde Crazy is a 1931 American Pre-Code romantic comedy-drama film by Roy Del Ruth, starring James Cagney, Joan Blondell, Louis Calhern, Ray Milland, and Guy Kibbee known for Cagney's line, "That dirty, double-crossin' rat!"
In 2014 "Blonde Crazy" was released on DVD in a Forbidden Hollywood box set. The cover features a publicity photo of Cagney and Blondell in the "bathtub scene" from the film.
Plot
Bert Harris works for a hotel as a bellboy. One day he meets Anne Roberts, who signs up as a chambermaid. He takes a fancy to her and lets her in on his racket, conning people out of money.
Reception
Time felt the ending of the film was out of place with the rest of the film and was only inserted there to provide a moralistic "law and order" ending.[1]
