The Fighting 69th Ratings & Reviews
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Even though the plot is not novel, the picture holds one's attention throughout due to the excellent performances.
Washington Star
Jay Carmody
Richly schooled in the art of impersonating a snarling, ratlike human, [James] Cagney here has an opportunity to do the part in its most repulsive coloring.
California Eagle
John Kinloch
For a while The Fighting 69th makes a noise like a good picture, but after a time its woeful inadequacies are visible to the naked eye -- and the blasted ear.
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Among best of Cagney-O'Brien Warner team-ups, this one set in WWI.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
The Fighting 69th...may become a gushy tearjerker by its end, but you can't argue that its heart isn't in the right place.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
In one of his few war films, Cagney displays his "specialty" of explosive energy, as a despicable Irishman, who initially sneers at the regiment's traditions but then learns the hard way the mistakes of his cowardice and irresponsibility.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A sentimental recruiting poster account of the famed First World War New York National Guard division of mostly Irish-Americans.
