I had become a big James Cagney fan and wanted to see the movies of his I had missed. Thus, I had to check this out, especially since it was his first film he had made in over 2. En route to getting a glimpse at the 8. I found out (1) he wasn't on screen until 4. I was absorbed in this interesting story (plus, to be fair, I was told in advance he didn't appear until the last part!), (3) the sets, clothing, etc. Anyway, in my opinion, the star of the film was a guy who hardly got any billing: James Olson. He is the key figure in this story and very interesting to watch. Actually, just about everyone is interesting which makes for good storytelling. Nonetheless, Olson's fine performance is unfairly overlooked. Howard Rollins was good as the black "victim" of the profane slob Kenneth Mc. Millian and Elizabeth Mc. Govern certainly kept ones attention although I wasn't quite sure how her character tied into the story. By the way, to rate this movie "PG" is ludicrous since Mc. Govern is seen in a 3- to- 4- minute scene casually talking away with bare breasts for all to see. And - contrary to a popular rumor - nothing of her was cut out of the DVD. Meanwhile, Cagney showed he hadn't forgotten how to act. It was a pleasure to see him again, just a few years before he would pass away. It's a cliché, but I doubt if anyone was in his class as an actor and a dancer, a tough guy or a comedian. He was the best and went out in style here, too, although he did do one last made- for- TV film a short time after this. I finished reading Doctorow's novel just before it was announced that production had started on the movie. I remember thinking, "How the hell do you make a movie of a book where the central characters are named 'Mother,' 'Father,' and 'Mother's Younger Brother?'". Milos Forman showed how: In a word, beautifully. And "Ragtime" is beautiful, stunning in its recreation of early 1. New York, utilizing a script which somehow ties together the central events and their effects on its main characters as well as one of the finest, most haunting soundtracks (Randy Newman, who went so far as to compose several original 'ragtime' numbers) in the past twenty years, topped off with a first- rate cast. James Cagney was the big news, of course, and deservedly so: Emerging from twenty years of retirement, he showed that he'd not only not lost anything but had added to his expertise. Add Mary Steenburgen, Mandy Patinkin, James Olsen, Howard Rollins, Keith Mc. Millan and even Elizabeth Mc. Govern (each of them perfectly cast), to name but a few, and you see where Forman wasn't missing a bet. Ragtime" suffers, ultimately, due to lapses in editing - - the most grievous lapse the cutting of a short scene which explains Commissioner Waldo's motivation behind the action he ultimately takes with Coalhouse Walker. Some cuts are always necessarily (especially in a movie as sprawling as this), yet that cut - - and several others - - flaw this beauty of a film. But not fatally. Not at all. More than twenty years later, "Ragtime" is still gorgeous. Back in the day when Hollywood was grinding out B westerns it wasn't unusual at all to see famous folks of the west in stories that had absolutely nothing to do with their own lives or to see many famous people interacting when they never even met in real life. Ragtime revives some of that dubious tradition in filming E. L. Doctorow's novel about the Teddy Roosevelt years of the first decade of the last century. Teddy figures into this briefly as does his Vice President Charles Fairbanks. Booker T. Washington is here too, as are the principals of the Stanford White murder, and New York City Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo. It's quite a blend because Roosevelt and Fairbanks ran for re- election in 1. Fairbanks is shown delivering a campaign speech. He wasn't even Vice President then, just a Senator from Indiana. Fairbanks was running for Vice President because Roosevelt had no Vice President in his first term. He succeeded to the presidency when Willima Mc. Kinley was assassinated. The Stanford White murder took place in 1. Many such murders right up to O. J. Simpson were given that dubious distinction. And Rhinelander Waldo was not NYPD Police Commissioner until 1. James Cagney. Still and all E. L. Doctorow's book is made into a fine film which got a whole bunch of Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, Best Director for Milos Forman and Supporting player nominations for Howard Rollins, Jr. Elizabeth Mc. Govern. The main story is about Coalhouse Walker, Jr. Sarah. She has his baby and they'd like to get married. But a whole lot of things, some of them peripherally connected to the true events and people previously mentioned that lead him and a gang to take possession of the Morgan Library and threaten to blow it up. Howard Rollins was a real tragedy. This was a great start to a short, but brilliant career that included his long running role as Virgil Tibbs in the TV series In the Heat of the Night and the film A Soldier's Story. He died way too young from AIDS contracted from a lot of intravenous drug use. Elizabeth Mc. Govern is the famous Evelyn Nisbet, the girl on the red velvet swing which was the title of another film that dealt with the Stanford White murder. Mc. Govern's performance is probably closer to the real Evelyn than Joan Collins was in that earlier film. She's basically a goldigger who juggled two men, her husband Harry K. Thaw and her upscale lover, society architect Stanford White. Her circus act led to White's death, Thaw's commitment to an insane asylum and a vaudeville career for her. Ragtime was eagerly awaited because of the anticipated return of James Cagney to the screen after being off for 1. Cagney is clearly aged, but he gets through the role because unlike that television film Terrible Joe Moran, he's not the center of the film, though he's first billed. Note that he's sitting down during most of his performance and when he has to stand the camera is a discreet distance. It's nothing like the bouncing Cagney of old, but light years better than Terrible Joe Moran. This was also the final joint appearance as it turned for the team that invented the buddy film, James Cagney and Pat O'Brien even though they have no scenes together. O'Brien is Harry K. Thaw's attorney and Mrs. O'Brien plays Thaw's mother under her maiden name of Eloise Taylor. She was an actress before she married Pat, but gave up her career to raise their four children. Author Norman Mailer plays Stanford White, fulltime architect and hedonist and Robert Joy plays the demented millionaire Harry K. Thaw and both fit the parts perfectly. Maybe one day we will have a definitive film version just concentrating on the murder and it's aftermath for the three principals. Milos Forman gave us a remarkable evocation of an exciting time in American history. It seemed that America had limitless possibilities then. I doubt they'll be saying that about the first decade of this century. Cameo: [Jack Nicholson] in a very fast close- up as a mustachioed pirate making off with Elizabeth Mc. Govern in the silent movie sequence being shot by "director" Mandy Patinkin at a beach resort. Because of the presence of the ailing James Cagney (in what would prove to be his final screen appearance), the movie was officially exempted from the long- running Actors' Strike of the early 1. Though James Cagney was 8. Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo was only 3. Robert Altman was replaced by Milos Forman as director of this project. James Cagney was wheelchair- bound at the time of shooting. Most scenes show him sitting; a stand- in was used for his remaining scenes showing him on his feet (and were shot from the back to obscure the stand- in's face). O. J. Simpson was considered for the role of Coalhouse Walker. Mary Steenburgen was pregnant during filming, but her turn- of- the- century clothes concealed it. According to Milos Forman, James Cagney initially agreed to play the police chief on two conditions: he would not sign a contract of any kind, and he reserved the right to change his mind and quit the film until three days before shooting began on his scenes. Forman originally wanted E.
