Does anyone know the name of the 1970's Movie that Fred and Lamont took a scene from, it went like this

-"Stella, ooh you Dirty Rat, I have heard this on What;'s Happening also by Rerun.

I don't think it was from a 1970's movie. I think they were doing a impression of James Cagney. It was probably from a movie made much earlier.

You mean Before the 1970's?

I think very much earlier. Like from the 30's or 40's

Yeah, that was a James Cagney impression from one of his 1930's gangster movies I forget which one though. I 've seen just about all of his movies.

I remember Fred doing that impression. That was cool. Also, when he does his version of the Ink Spots "If I Didn't Care" or when he is singing a song while cooking and goes like this "Wowwwww"...at the end. Watching the episode with Fred and Grady now...the one about Grady wanting a place to stay...very funny

The name of the movie is Taxi. It's one of Cagney's first films.
