The kid can write his own ticket!
City For Conquest: Sensitive composer Arthur Kennedy’s sitting at the piano during mobster Elia Kazan’s fancy blowout, and reluctant welterweight Jimmy Cagney implores him, “Come on, Eddie. Play that song that I like.”
So Arthur Kennedy begins his sweaty classical masterpiece, and the partiers ignore him, start talking even louder, and Arthur Kennedy responds, bitterly, “I’ll show them,” and breaks into a wild, cheap, popular number he’s been holding in reserve. Continue reading
