I just saw part of a movie "Here Comes The Navy", with James Cagney. The movie was filmed in 1934. What was interesting was that it starred the USS Macon (dirigible) and the USS Arizona. Only seven years later both would be lost.

I recall that movie, I guess I saw it in the early 40's. James Francis Cagney
was a rather young man, only 35 at the time.
