Audience Reviews for Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye

I rented this film because of Barbara Payton, little did I know that James Cagney would be the main star. Cagney was outstanding in his role as a gangster, and Payton played his crime gal and did an excellent job. Its a early Black and White film that will hold your interest. We have crooked detectives, a pissed off

Not as good as White Heat another Cagney as a gangster noir, but Kiss... still packs a wallop, Babara Payton turns in a fine performance as the good-hearted?if somewhat gullible?blonde who goes bad through her association with sadistic gangster ?Ralph Cotter played by Cagney
