Curiosità

Taxi! is a 1932 American pre-Code crime drama film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring James Cagney and Loretta Young.

Production

To play his competitor in a ballroom dance contest, Cagney recommended his friend George Raft, who was uncredited in the film.

As in The Public Enemy (1931), several scenes in Taxi! involved the use of live machine-gun bullets. After a few of the bullets narrowly missed Cagney's head, he refused to employ real bullets in his subsequent films.

In the film, the characters view a fictitious Warner Bros. film at the cinema titled Her Hour of Love, during which Cagney cracks a joke about the film's leading man, who is played by Donald Cook (in an uncredited role), Cagney's brother in The Public Enemy. In the cinema lobby, there is a poster for The Mad Genius, an actual Warner Bros. film starring John Barrymore that had been released during the previous year.
