James Cagney had been advised by his doctors and caregivers that making a film at this point in his life was very important for his health. The actor never flew, so he and his wife took an ocean liner to London, where his scenes were filmed. Despite his numerous infirmities, he stayed on-set during his fellow actors' close-ups to give them line readings.
Because of the presence of the ailing James Cagney, in what became his final big screen appearance, the movie was officially exempted from the long-running actors' strike of the early 1980s. It was the only production to receive that honor.
Jack Nicholson had to drop out of the film less than a month before filming began, leaving the producers without a name star. Director Milos Forman recruited James Cagney, who he had met the year before at a private dinner in Connecticut. He offered Cagney any part he wanted, including (facetiously) Evelyn Nesbitt.
This film reunited James Cagney, coming out of a 20-year retirement, with Pat O'Brien, his frequent co-star from the 1930s and 1940s. It was the last theatrical film for both of them.
James Cagney objected to saying "nigger" in reference to Walker, so "buck" was substituted.
"Coalhouse Walker Jr.: I read music so good, white folks think I'm fakin' it."
"Younger Brother: I design fireworks. That's my job. [the black anarchists laugh in derision] Younger Brother: . I can make bombs. [They stop laughing and take him seriously]"
