Terrible Joe Moran is a 1984 Americanmade-for-televisiondrama film directed byJoseph Sargent and starringJames Cagney in his final role,Art Carney,[1] andEllen Barkin. The film, about an aging ex-boxer (Cagney) who needs to use a wheelchair for mobility, won anEmmy Award in 1984.[2] Clips from Cagney's 1932 boxing pictureWinner Take All were used to illustrate the character's earlier career.Reportedly, impressionistRich Little dubbed much—if not all—of Cagney's dialogue, as the stroke afflicted actor slurred his words and the decision was made to replace his voice with that of Little doing a Cagney impersonation.
The script was originally written forKatharine Hepburn. After she bowed out, the lead part was rewritten for Cagney.
