Terrible Joe Moran
Terrible Joe Moran is a 1984 American made-for-television drama film directed by Joseph Sargent and starring James Cagney in his final role, Art Carney,[1] and Ellen Barkin. The film, about an aging ex-boxer (Cagney) who needs to use a wheelchair for mobility, won an Emmy Award in 1984.[2] Clips from Cagney's 1932 boxing picture Winner Take All were used to illustrate the character's earlier career. Reportedly, impressionist Rich Little dubbed much—if not all—of the Cagney dialog, as the stroke afflicted actor slurred his words and the decision was made to replace his voice with that of Little doing a Cagney impersonation. The script was originally written for Katharine Hepburn. After she bowed out, the lead part was rewritten for Cagney. Cast
