Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Love Me or Leave Me (1955)

Doris Day is a girl with a dream and Cagney is a mobster with a hard-on for her, so he strongarms her onto the stage. She doesn’t like the way he does things, but she’s not above using him to gain the spotlight. Once she’s tired of it, however, she can’t shake him off.

It’s a pretty good movie with a great performance from Cagney, but the 8 or so full-length songs really slow things down.
