But there are also some important
differences: Biff Grimes (Cagney) lacks Jim Corbett's gift for dominating the events
of his own life; women have far
greater importance here, with the title character (Rita Hayworth) and Amy (Olivia DeHavilland) being the central forces
of the film; male
friendship is complicated by betrayals and delusions (here the Jack Carson character is the traitor, while the unfortunate Grimes is rather like the Carson character in Gentleman Jim).
