Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 63<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On March 4, 1935, Ann Dvorak reported for her first day of work on the Warner Bros. feature “G” Men<\/a>,<\/strong> starring James Cagney. The role of Jean Morgan may not have been a big one for Ann, but “G” Men<\/strong><\/a> was a bigger budget production than most, if not all, of the films she had made the previous year. Plus, she was going to be acting opposite one of the studio’s biggest stars. This was the second and (unfortunately) last time Ann acted with Cagney, with whom she had shared the screen two years earlier in The Crowd Roars<\/a>. <\/strong>The chemistry between them is undeniable, especially during her death scene, so it’s really a shame they didn’t do more together.<\/p>\n

1935 had really been shaping up to be a banner year career-wise for Ann. In December, she had wrapped up Sweet Music<\/strong><\/a> opposite Rudy Vallee, for a ’35 release, and Bright Lights <\/strong><\/a>with Joe E. Brown and Dr. Socrates<\/strong><\/a> with Paul Muni were just around the corner. Maybe these weren’t the most notable titles on Warner Bros. release list for 1935, but they were largely a step-up from the mountain of quickie programmers the studio had cast her in from late 1933 through most of 1934. Yup, things were looking up for Ann…and then came the loan-out to 20th Century that infuriated her, mysterious illnesses, lengthy suspensions, and a lawsuit. But, you’ll be able to read all about it in a certain book due to come out in a few months. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
