Like any brothers, Danny (James Cagney) and Pat (Pat O'Brien) have had their share of differences. But the sibling rivalry gets pumped up to the next level when lovely Lucille (Olivia de Havilland) comes between them. Pat, a police officer, is planning on marrying Lucille, but only if he can trust Danny to take over the financial support of their mother. But when Danny instead risks it all to be a boxing promoter, and starts romancing Pat's girl, the gloves finally come off.

As has been the case with so many good artists, the mannerisms hold, for a while, but with a few more such pictures he would be ruined. Go to Full Review Michael E. Grost Classic Film and Television 11/30/2015

Biker B Mar 17 The Irish in Us is more of an older movie that relates to first generation Irish-Americans and some of the culture and experiences they had. See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 04/28/2020 The Irish in Us is an okay film. It is about two brothers who vie for the affections of a lovely young woman. James Cagney and Pat O'Brien give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Lloyd Bacon did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the humor. See more 03/17/2012 Standard Warners programmer put over by the stars all at the beginning of their careers.
