- James Cagney, The Public Enemy, 1931. "We did two or three days' work," recalled director William (Wild Bill) Wellman. "When I finally looked at the rushes, I said: Good God, we've got the wrong guy in the wrong part." Even Darryl Zanuck, then Warners production chief, agreed to the switch - although he was hoping to make Woods a star as he was due to marry the daughter of powerful columnist Louella Parsons. Instead, Cagney became the great star in his fifth film and Woods' screen career - including a Buster Crabbe Tarzan movie - was over by 1938.
