At 47 her dark hair is greying, the lines of her firm jaw broadening, but her blue-grey eyes have lost not a spark of their vitality and fervor...
...Louis Kid (Warner) shows James Cagney receiving a cuff on the jaw from his leading lady instead of giving her one. Because he was tired of punching with his fists in pictures. Cagney suggested a variation to Director Ray Enright. In The St. Louis Kid he wears bandages on his hands, butts his way through brawls with his head. In other respects, the picture is standard Cagney entertainment, a rapid, realistic fantasy about a truck-driver who wants a quiet weekend in the country. Best shot: Cagney being welcomed into a village jail by a warden who loves company...
