Never Steal Anything Small(1959)

A rowdy, riotous, romantical musical story of muscle-men and their molls

Never Steal Anything Small is a 1959 musical comedy directed by Charles Lederer, starring James Cagney as a cunning longshoreman willing to bend every rule to seize control of his union. Set against the backdrop of the docks, the film follows Cagney's character as he schemes and manipulates his way toward the union presidency, deploying charm, deception, and ruthlessness in equal measure. The movie blends song and dance numbers with sharp-edged humor, capturing the gritty world of labor politics with a wink and a nod. Cagney's performance showcases his versatility, moving fluidly between his tough-guy persona and lighter musical moments.
