Did James Cagney ever say "You dirty Rat" in any of his films?
Can anyone prove he said it?!

Aparently he didn't say it.

From Wikipedia:-
The phrase actually originated in the 1932 film Taxi!, in which Cagney said, "Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!" often misquoted as "Come out, you dirty rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!"

He apparently said "Come out and take it, you dirty, yellow-bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!" and it is often misquoted as "Come out, you dirty rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!"
